EPA Administrator Jackson won’t play much of a role in the upcoming Senate legislation, but she has certainly laid its foundation. Jackson basically gave Congress a timeline of January 2011 to regulate greenhouse gases, officially stating that the EPA will take matters into its own hands in January 2011 if Congress can’t do the job. This places major pressure on members opposed to regulating greenhouse gases — while are loathe to support this type of legislation, they are even more wary of offering the EPA full control of the issue allowing Congress to be entirely cut out of the process.
