<span style="font-size: small;">The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday debated a measure that would block the government from placing limits on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and oil refineries.<br />
<br />
Michigan Congressional Representative Fred Upton introduced a bill that would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating carbon dioxide as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act. The legislation would block the government from placing limits on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and oil refineries.<br />
<br />
It is likely the bill will pass the Hose but it is unlikely it will survive in the Senate where <br />
four amendments to a small business bill that sought to block or delay EPA regulations of greenhouse gases for 2 years were defeated by the Democrat-controlled Senate.<br />
