Guardian: The White House insisted on Sunday it was on strong legal footing as it unveiled details of ambitious carbon-reduction plans that are likely to be fiercely opposed by coal-burning Republican states. Gina McCarthy, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), told reporters the Obama administrations goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions from US power plants by 32% between 2005 and 2030 kept squarely within the four corners of the Clean Air Act.

Greenwire: U.S. EPA's final Clean Power Plan will no longer base state targets, in part, on estimates about how much they could boost energy efficiency, an administration official said.

The change will not limit states' ability to tap energy efficiency...

Reuters: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will unveil as soon as Monday the final version of a sweeping - and controversial - regulation to cut carbon emissions from the electricity sector. In its initial version, the Clean Power Plan called for cutting the country's power plant emissions 30 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, setting different targets for each state. The proposal is the signature piece of President Barack Obamas climate change policy. White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said...
