Acid Rain Policymaking and Environmental Federalism: Recent Developments, Future Prospects

James L. Regens
University of Georgia

Acid rain controls are one of the more salient policy issues for contemporary environmental federalism. Agenda prominence, however, does not guarantee agreement on the components of a regulatory program. Depending on how many tons of emissions reduction one wants, when one wants them, and how one permits emitters to achieve compliance, a control program's costs can vary by billions of dollars annually. This article provides a summary of significant state and national policy initiatives as well as an examination of the barriers and incentives for such action.
