These states are setting wind energy records and suing over Obamas climate plans
2016-02-26 09:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: On Tuesday, the American Wind Energy Association posted a very interesting list of new records being set by U.S. wind energy this month. For instance, in the power grid for the state of Texas known as ERCOT, or the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas wind generated 14,023 megawatts (or million watts) of electricity at one point on Feb. 18, a new record high. On the same day, winds penetration within ERCOT temporarily reached 45.14 percent. In other words, at least for a moment, wind...

His sudden death may have opened a new path to the rule's survival. Scalia died Saturday. Four days earlier, he voted with the other conservative members of the high court to put a hold on the administration's plans to implement the Clean Power Plan while it is litigated.

What Antonin Scalia's death means for Obama's climate plans

Vox: The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will have endless political and policy ramifications. But here's a big one: President Obama's plan to tackle global warming is in far less legal peril than it was just three days ago. Last Thursday, the Supreme Court surprised everyone by voting 5-4 to issue a stay and delay enforcement of Obama's Clean Power Plan, a major EPA rule to cut carbon-dioxide emissions from the electricity sector. That suggested the Court's five conservative justices...
