Acid rain has now found its way into the economic and political arena, where geopolitical debates about the causes, effects, and mitigation or elimination of acid rain grow increasingly heated. After an overview of the acid rain problem and the ineffectiveness of the Clean Air Act, the author analyzes Senator Stafford's Bill (S. 768) in light of its economic, political, and environmental impact. The bill amends the Clean Air Act by calling for a three-stage plan in reducing acid rain damage. However it lacks adequate funding appropriations to equitably support its policies. To become an effective solution, the bill needs to include an emissions tax and/or trust fund that will generate revenues. It must also mandate nitrogen oxide emission reductions in conjunction with the proposed sulfur dioxide reductions.
