EPA Delays Rule on Industrial Emissions -- Los Angeles Times

Link here.
The regulation to limit pollutants at power plants is suspended after protests from industry. It is the Obama administration's latest concession on the environment.

The Obama administration has decided to delay a rule that would cut emissions from power plants at major industrial facilities, the most recent in a series of decisions since the midterm election to postpone controversial environmental regulations and steer a more business-friendly course.

The EPA's decision Monday about the rule comes three days after President Obama announced plans to open more domestic territory to oil and gas drilling.
Cover-Up Lite or Selective Reporting

The above story was above the fold in the LA Times with a huge headline. I am unable to find the story on the front page of the New York Times. I'm sure the story will eventually show up on the front page, but later in the news cycle. Very interesting. The leading story in today's on-line NYT edition has to do with thieves stealing "real" hair for hair extensions. Okay.
