environmental politics agency

Now that the Supremes have ruled that the EPA is empowered to regulate CO2 emissions, what do you think the Bush administration will do next? I predict one of the following:

1. pay lip service to the ruling but instruct the agency to recommend minimal regulation;
2. play passive/aggressive by issuing extremely harsh regulations to foment a backlash;
3. ’stay the course’ by doing nothing as long as possible.
