The US chemical manufacturing sectors seems confident after passing the energy regulations and safety programs against toxic chemical by Congress after election held at last week.
The law making authorities didn’t focus to make necessary step for their rectification but Democratic government will not go with the same approach, stated by Cal Dooley, Head of American Chemistry Council (ACC).
He told the media that, “We firmly believe that a real opportunity is standing in front us and our improved leadership is competent to design inclusive domestic energy policy that will have bipartisan support,”
Chemical industry play a significant part in driving the country’s economy and the companies allied with this sector want to lag down the energy cost and implement valuable policies to save them from potential increases, stated Dooley.
He claimed that the program initiated by Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) to constraint the CO2 emissions will certainly raise the energy prices, but will have the potential to lessen the standard concentration of ground-level ozone. “Our reservations are rising up due to uncertainties that may cause as a result of carbon emission reductions,” said Dooley.
He suggested that, “EPA should concentrate by assuring that they hold a momentous realization of the existing ozone to 75 parts per billion before they continue with the reduced level.”
As far as energy cost is concerned, the ozone legislations might have an impact and make the things difficult for chemical manufacturers to attain the authorize level of air pollution, he said.
The committee has its eye on the fact that the major hindrance encountered in reforming the toxic chemical control act has been eliminated.
After the relocation of EPW to Sen. Inhofe, we are very much confident that Sen. Vitter and Sen. Udall actually having the ability to see committee action relatively soon in the congressional session,”
The president of ACC forecasted that effective measures for implementing toxic substance reforms program would bypass chambers of Congress mutually in a year onward and President Obama would hopefully consider it into law.
