Chillico Gazette: Ohio would have to significantly reduce its carbon emissions over the next 16 years under a proposal President Barack Obamas administration unveiled Monday to combat global warming. The proposal could force Ohios coal-fired power plants to dramatically change the way they operate for example, by improving efficiency, switching to natural gas, or even closing down. The draft environmental rule, a top domestic goal of the administration, is the centerpiece of Obamas climate change initiative....

4 Key Takeaways From EPA's New Rules for Power Plants
2014-06-03 03:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: The new rules announced Monday to limit carbon emissions from U.S. power plants represent President Barack Obama's boldest effort yet to counter climate change, guidelines that supporters and critics alike cast as a turning point in U.S. environmental policy. But what's also striking about the rules is that for all the ambition they represent-and the plan for a 30 percent reduction in carbon emissions from 2005 levels by 2030 is ambitious-they also appear designed to lock in carbon reductions...

Mother Nature Network: A new proposal from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) turns the spotlight on emissions from the energy sector, proposing that power companies reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent by 2030, compared to 2005 levels. As Gina McCarthy, administrator for the EPA, explains in the video above, it's an attempt to give states a flexible path to reaching the lofty goal instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.

EPA seeks cut earth-warming pollution from nation's power plants 30% by 2030

Associated Press: Taking aim at global warming, President Barack Obama introduced a politically charged plan Monday to order big and lasting cuts in the pollution discharged by America's power plants. But the plan, though ambitious in scope, wouldn't be fully realized until long after Obama's successor took office and would generate only modest progress worldwide. Obama's proposal to force a 30 per cent cut in carbon dioxide emissions, by the year 2030 from 2005 levels, drew immediate scorn from Republicans, industry...
