Hill: Congressional Republicans are seizing on a new set of Environmental Protection Agency regulations as a key political issue for the 2014 election cycle, returning to a strategy that helped the GOP wrest control of the House from Democrats three years ago. Nearly 20 lawmakers on Thursday condemned a proposed EPA rule limiting greenhouse gas emissions, calling it a part of a war on coal that would decimate the industry, put thousands of people out of work and raise energy prices. Among them...

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

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...

InsideClimate: Two days before Gina McCarthy [3], the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, presented her landmark proposal to regulate carbon emissions from future electric plants, one of her main allies in Congress walked her down memory lane. Rep. Henry Waxman [4] reminded her that he once tried to help the coal industry pay for costly technology to capture carbon dioxide from power plants and pump it deep underground. "In 2009, the president supported market-based legislation to make major...
