Amazing reporting but scary stuff (even scarier than my previous baby tossing Fave). 60 Minutes is still the best.

Heard this on NPR. Made me want to hate GE.
Quoted: While the nation's other locomotive maker and diesel-engine makers say they are prepared to meet the proposed new standard, GE argues it is "unlikely to be achieved" and has proposed a weaker one.
But, on the other hand....
Quoted: Much of the dispute focuses on the acceptable level of emissions of nitrogen oxides, which cause smog. The EPA wants a limit of 1.3 grams per horsepower per hour's operation. GE is advocating a 1.9-gram limit and says in its letter achieving that level would require "significantly high-risk technology breakthroughs." Current rules, which cover GE's Evolution series, set a limit of 5.5 grams.
