The Obama administration is waiving clean gas requirements in parts of Louisiana to make sure residents have enough supplies as Hurricane Isaac makes its way through the state. The EPA says it’s lifting some Clean Air Act standards for 10 days. EPA administrator Lisa Jackson says extreme circumstances are likely to cause a gasoline shortage.
