If implemented, the EPA’s ozone ceiling reduction would kill off Texas jobs and handicap future economic growth—and achieve virtually nothing in return.

Now the Obama administration is turning its attention to one of our few remaining problems: solving the puzzle of why the Internet has been such a massive disappointment.
