Climate and energy policy needs to be durable and flexible to be
successful, but these two concepts often seem to be in opposition. One
venerable institution where both ideas are apparent is the Clean Air
Act, first passed by the United States Congress in 1963, with
amendments in 1970 and 1990. The Act is a living institution that has
been hugely successful in improving the environment. It has programs
that reach across the entire economy, regulating various sectors and
pollutants in different ways. This illuminating book examines these
successes - and failures - with the aim to offer lessons for future
climate and energy policymaking in the US at the federal and state
level. It provides critical information to legislators, regulators,
and scholars interested in understanding environmental policymaking.
