Reuters: France called on its European Union partners on Friday to agree a more ambitious target to cut greenhouse gas emissions and said the 28-nation bloc should consider imposing an EU-wide carbon tax. French President Francois Hollande urged the EU to cut CO2 emissions by 40 percent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels - a much tougher target than the existing 20 percent goal. "Europe must set an example," Hollande told an energy conference in Paris, adding that France would lead the way with a goal...

The EPA announced Friday morning its proposal to cap the amount of heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants. Coal-fired plants -- unlike most natural gas facilities -- won't meet the standard without costly technology to capture and store carbon emissions. There's the rub. No commercial,...

ClimateWire: U.S. EPA will unveil standards for new power plants this week, the first step in a three-year rollout of regulations to address the largest stationary sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. The new power plant proposal will give a sense of how carbon capture and storage (CCS) -- the promising but controversial practice of removing carbon dioxide from smokestacks and storing it underground or using it for industrial purposes -- will feature in a rule on existing plants. "If...
