Ever since we watched that movie on the petroleum plant causing major health affects on the people living around it, clean air is something I don't take for granted. It is amazing to think that many diseases and other health problems people have may be the result of the air people breathe in every day. If I am understanding this correctly, H.R. 97 is trying to ensure clean air without taking into consideration greenhouse gases. I think that there are certain things that cannot be controlled in our air because they are created from the earth. BUT, some greenhouse gases are man-made so they should not be exempt from this act. If we are going to attempt to have cleaner air, everything making it unclean should be taken into consideration.
