Application To Greenhouse Gas Emissions
EPA began regulating greenhouse gases (GHGs) from mobile and stationary sources of air pollution under the Clean Air Act for the first time on January 2, 2011. Standards for mobile sources have been established pursuant to Section 202 of the CAA, and GHGs from stationary sources are controlled under the authority of Part C of Title I of the Act. See Regulation of Greenhouse Gases Under the Clean Air Act.
Below is a table for the sources of greenhouse gases, taken from data in 2008. Of all greenhouse gases, only about 54 percent of the sources are manageable under the CAA, marked with an asterisk (*). All others are regulated independently, if at all.
| Source | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Electric Generation* | 34% |
| Industry* | 15% |
| Large Non-Agricultural Methane Sources* | 5% |
| Light-, Medium-, and Heavy-Duty Vehicles | 22% |
| Other Transport | 7% |
| Commercial and Residential Heating | 7% |
| Agriculture | 7% |
| HFCs | 2% |
| Other | 1% |

“There is not enough exercise in this way of life. I try to make up by active gymnastics before I dress when I get up, by walking rapidly in the lower hall and the greenhouse after each meal for perhaps five to ten minutes, and a good hand rubbing before going to bed. I eat moderately; drink one cup of coffee at breakfast and one cup of tea at lunch and no other stimulant. My health is now, and usually, excellent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Shielded, what sorts of life are stirring yet:
Legs lagged like drains, slippers soft as fungus,
The gas and grate, the old cold sour grey bed.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
