E.P.A. Rules on Emissions at Existing Coal Plants Might Give States Leeway

2013-09-24 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

New York Times: Four years ago, Congress rejected the idea of a cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by putting a price on them. But the plan announced by the Environmental Protection Agency on Friday to regulate emissions from existing coal-fired power plants could foster creation of such a system, at least on a regional basis, and a push for renewable energy and energy efficiency in states that so far have embraced neither. It could also leave the business of carbon regulation in the hands...

EPA sets out revised carbon emission rules for power plants

2013-09-23 09:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

BusinessGreen: Advocates for the coal and utilities industries criticised new proposals by the Environmental Protection Agency to curb carbon emissions from newly-constructed power plants on Friday. The rules, based on the US Clean Air Act, have been made to support the Climate Action Plan announced by President Obama in July. In making this proposal, the EPA backed down on an original proposal made last year, which applied identical limits to gas and coal-fired plants. That rule may have been subject to a legal...

Energy nominee Ron Binz loses voltage with contradictions, Obama coal rules

2013-09-23 09:31:23| Energy - Topix.net

President Obama's nominee to a top energy post is hanging on by a thread after a poor performance last week at a confirmation hearing where he failed to win over key supporters and even appeared to have misled a Senate committee about his record of support for a coal-fired energy plant.
