E&E Publishing: President Obama's plan to use a mixture of mandates and flexible regulation to cut greenhouse gas emissions is being viewed by energy industry experts through an age-old axiom: The devil is in the details. The plan appears to be a shot in the arm for natural gas, as Obama's proposed regulation of carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal-fired power plants would provide a boost to cleaner-burning gas generators.

Host Megyn Kelly then interviewed Chris Horner, a Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) and American...

New York Magazine: There is a very fortunate irony about President Obama's second term. He has to deal with a Congress barely capable of keeping the government's lights on, let alone crafting rational laws, and totally unable to handle any number of policy crises. Yet, on the single most urgent issue facing the country (and the world), climate change, Obama doesn't need Congress at all.
