Clean air ruling blames Ohio Edison
A federal judge ruled yesterday that FirstEnergy’s Ohio Edison Co. violated the law by upgrading seven aging coal-fired power plants without installing anti-pollution equipment, in a case with major implications for future clean-air enforcement efforts.

 IT WAS THE first time a federal judge ruled against a utility in one of the dozen cases that were brought against 51 aging and dirty power plants by the Justice Department and state attorneys general in the Northeast during the Clinton administration.

4. Sane foreign affairs policies. By foreign countries, Clinton is the most liked leader in history.
5. Did we have so much terrorism under Clinton? No, because he tried and succeeded in negociating moral and just comprimises with poor people of the world.
