Sacrifice is the name of the game, here. The US Environmental Protection Agency announced it will propose new rules for regulating carbon emissions as a way to roll back climate change. Industry and the thousands of folks who work for industry are not making high pitched squeaky noises, fearing the new rules could cost job or make their businesses less competitive.
