clean air, shmean air

I don't have the TV like the kids do these days, so I'm not sure how well reported this is: Bush has 'temorarily' repealed some clean air laws in the wake of hurricane Katrina to help... something. HERE's the link.

I think the idea is that by relaxing air standards, we can burn dirty fuel to make up for the fuel that won't be coming out of the Gulf of Mexico for a little while. This seems like a terrible idea. Let's keep an eye out to see how long these laws are repealed.
