• Obama Unveils Climate Change Plan to Cut Power Plant Emissions
    12 replies, posted
[QUOTE]Declaring climate change the greatest threat facing the world, Obama said the regulation requiring the power sector to cut its emissions by 32 percent from 2005 levels by 2030 would reduce Americans' energy bills and improve the health of vulnerable populations nationwide. The plan, which also mandates a shift to renewable energy from coal-fired electricity, is meant to put the United States in a strong position at international talks in Paris later this year on reaching a deal to curb global warming. The United States has pledged to slash its greenhouse gas emissions across the economy by 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025. Cuts from the high-emitting power sector will be critical to the effort, and the White House hopes this plan will prove Washington's commitment to that goal as it prods other countries to follow suit. Obama is enacting the plan by executive order, bypassing Congress, which rejected legislative attempts to reduce pollution from carbon dioxide, a common greenhouse gas blamed by scientists for heating the earth. The regulations face certain legal challenges from states and industries, and their long-term fate depends on their ability to withstand such challenges. "We're the first generation to feel the impact of climate change. We're the last generation that can do something about it," Obama told a sympathetic audience at the White House. "We only get one home. We only get one planet. There's no plan B." [/QUOTE] [url]http://news.yahoo.com/obama-issues-challenge-climate-change-power-plant-rule-181549581.html[/url]

This is to make Greenterror happy: ALL fossil fuels are solar energy stored by a natural process. ALL CO2 generated from fossil fuels has been CO2 and nothing but, before being trapped in fossil fuels. It's only fitting to return carbon where it came from in the first place, into the biosphere. It is humans' responsibility to help the carbon cycle going, as no other species can do that. CO2 maker Earth greener.[/QUOTE]

Insane conservatives have always loved flooding the comment sections of Yahoo articles about race, science, or religion. I've seen one guy post in articles related to police shootings for at least 3+ years
