  3. Joining the EPA's war on soot

    Lisa Jackson, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, did not produce the record some had hoped for, as she was continually held back from her ambitious regulatory plans by business and political opponents. And even her last major action &mdash; she announced last week that she is leaving her post &mdash; is overdue but still welcome. The EPA is demanding of local governments a <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-epa-tightens-standards-for-soot-pollution-20121214%2C0%2C2930521.story">20% reduction in soot emissions.</a> If it is successful in producing those results, the new standards will save thousands of lives and reduce the nation's healthcare costs by billions of dollars. The new rule is particularly important to Southern and Central California, where cleaning up soot emissions will be particularly challenging.

  6. Fracking's risks greatly overstated

    In a recent letter to the editor ("Fracking is not the answer for U.S. economy," May 7), David Wagenheim relies on outdated and previously debunked talking points in an attempt to convince readers that hydraulic fracturing harms groundwater, notwithstanding statements from organizations like the U.S. Department of Energy and the Ground Water Protection Council to the contrary. Even the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency itself stood up this past year and tried to set the record straight on this claim, with former administrator Lisa Jackson telling reporters that "in no case" &mdash; not one &mdash; has the agency found hydraulic fracturing to have an adverse impact on drinking water.

  9. Sequesterville

    The musical "Annie" is enjoying another revival on Broadway. The show opened during the Carter administration, when America was in need of some optimism. "The sun'll come out tomorrow," sang Annie, and with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, for a while, it did.
