White House threatens veto of House anti-enviro bill

That's good.  Though I'd be curious what chance this legislation had of passing in the Senate.  In any case, this is the kind of thing we expect from a Democratic president, so two points for the White House.  From the Hill:

The House is slated to vote later this week on a GOP-led measure that would mandate new interagency analyses of the cumulative economic effects of several EPA rules.

The bill would delay completion of upcoming mercury standards for power plants until at least six months after the interagency panel’s final report in August of 2012.

It would also delay a recently finalized EPA rule to cut power plant emissions that blow across state lines and worsen smog and particulate pollution, a measure called the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule.
