Here’s Why an Obama Plan to Regulate Carbon Could Work

The EPA is expected to let states decide how to clean up their power industries. ldphotoro/Shutterstock On June 2, the United States government will begin the single most important step it’s ever taken to fight climate change: limiting greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, the country’s largest climate polluter. Some fear the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulations will be catastrophic, a heavy-handed big-government overreach that will drive up the price of energy. Yet some energy policy experts say those misgivings are unfounded. Indeed, there’s good reason to think the regulations can succeed. Over the last decade, as federal climate efforts stagnated, some states pursued ambitious strategies of their own. They quietly put prices on greenhouse gases, harnessing market forces to cut carbon pollution. “We have a ton of evidence that states have already taken action,” said Sarah Hayes, a policy analyst at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, an energy industry think tank. These programs, she says, have for the most part been successful—one multi-state program has cut pollution from power plants by 40 percent—and could serve as models for meeting federally-mandated pollution cuts. In short, the future is already here—and it seems to work. Read the rest at Wired.

Climate Change is Clear and Present Danger, Says Landmark US Report

National Climate Assessment, to be launched at White House on Tuesday, says effects of climate change are now being felt. President Barack Obama wipes sweat from his head during a speech on climate change, Tuesday, June 25, 2013, at Georgetown University in Washington. Obama is proposing sweeping steps to limit heat-trapping pollution from coal-fired power plants and to boost renewable energy production on federal property. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci) Climate change has moved from distant threat to present-day danger and no American will be left unscathed, according to a landmark report due to be unveiled on Tuesday. The National Climate Assessment, a 1,300-page report compiled by 300 leading scientists and experts, is meant to be the definitive account of the effects of climate change on the US. It will be formally released at a White House event and is expected to drive the remaining two years of Barack Obama’s environmental agenda. The findings are expected to guide Obama as he rolls out the next and most ambitious phase of his climate change plan in June – a proposal to cut emissions from the current generation of power plants, America’s largest single source of carbon pollution.
