Currently the Clean Air Act requires permits for pollutants from any fixed source that emits over 250 tons/year. This worked for true pollutants in the parts per million category not CO2 in the several percent of emissions. So even office buildings, schools and hospitals would be requlated. Jackson has tried to propose upping the cap by fiat not legistlation, but will be sued. Also there is no best available control technology for CO2 short of hugely expensive separation and sequestration. Also the limits are based on "toxicity" not climiate change. <br /><br /> So none of the base legislation works for CO2.
