26 mai<\/a>). Le plus int\u00e9ressant d’un point de vue politique est la position des grandes villes US (et de certains Etats) par rapport \u00e0 la position du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, alors qu’on se trouve d\u00e9sormais engag\u00e9 dans des plans concrets de r\u00e9duction des \u00e9missions de CO2.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abNew York Mayor Michael Bloomberg touted his new 127-point plan to cut Gotham’s emissions 30 percent by 2030. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa committed to reducing his city’s carbon emissions 35 percent by 2030. Toronto’s David Miller announced that he had signed his city up for Zerofootprint, a carbon calculator and social networking Web site that helps individuals reduce their greenhouse gas production, to help Canada’s largest city meet its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 6 percent in five years and 80 percent by mid-century.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIn Washington meanwhile, legislation that would set similar goals for the United States is inching through Congress as the White House resists calls for greenhouse gas reduction targets.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbSpurred by a recent Supreme Court ruling, President Bush did sign an executive order May 14 asking federal agencies to develop regulations to cut gasoline consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles by the end of next year.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBut on Tuesday, Attorney General Jerry Brown of California urged the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to grant a waiver that would allow his state and at least 11 others to act sooner. The states want to enact rules requiring automakers to cut emissions from cars and light trucks by 25 percent, and from sport utility vehicles by 18 percent, starting with the 2009 model year.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThis is more important than any issue that EPA’s going to have to face, Brown said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbCalifornia Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has said he will sue the agency if it fails to act by Oct. 25.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tLa situation US rejoint un sch\u00e9ma historique classique : le localisme jeffersonien contre le centralisme f\u00e9d\u00e9raliste de type hamiltonien. Cette opposition porte dans le cas envisag\u00e9 sur les pouvoirs mais aussi sur les moyens d’action et le type d’action envisag\u00e9. Dans ce m\u00eame cas, le Congr\u00e8s tendrait \u00e0 \u00eatre proche des pouvoirs localistes, mais surtout en raison de la situation politique \u00e0 Washington. Il n’est pas assur\u00e9 qu’un retour des d\u00e9mocrates \u00e0 la Maison-Blanche am\u00e8nerait n\u00e9cessairement un changement fondamental de politique de l’administration.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
