Will a market in sulfur dioxide work?: An evaluation of the acid deposition title of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990
In a 1990 announcement, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) admitted widespread failure of the preexisting Clean Air Act (CAA). Other studies indicated that damage from air pollution continued to be severe. Perhaps responding to these and similar reports, perhaps acting out of general environmental concern or sheer political expediency, President Bush submitted proposed amendments to the CAA to Congress in July 1989. Doubters in Congress and in environmental groups were pleased that a President had, for the first time in eight years, initiated the political momentum behind environmental legislation. Many in Congress also specifically supported revising the CAA, and this shared executive and legislative interest resulted in the Clean Air Amendments of 1990.
