In a sweeping initiative to curb pollutants blamed for global warming, the Obama administration's EPA unveiled a plan Monday aimed at cutting carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by nearly a third by 2030. But it delays the deadline for some states to begin complying until long after President Barack Obama leaves office.
The 645-page plan, expected to be finalized next year, is a centerpiece of Obama's efforts to deal with climate change and seeks to give the United States more leverage to prod other countries to act when negotiations on a new international treaty resume next year. Under the plan, carbon emissions are to be reduced 30 percent from 2005 levels, in what would amount to one of the most significant U.S. actions on global warming.
Obama, in a conference call hosted by the American Lung Association, said the plan would both shrink electricity prices and protect the health of vulnerable Americans. He scolded critics who he predicted would contend anew that the limits would crush jobs and damage the economy.
"What we've seen every time is that these claims are debunked when you actually give workers and businesses the tools and the incentives they need to innovate," Obama said.
The proposal sets off a complex regulatory process, steeped in politics, in which the 50 states will each determine how to meet customized targets set by the Environmental Protection Agency, then submit those plans for approval.
"This is not just about disappearing polar bears or melting ice caps," said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. "This is about protecting our health and our homes. This is about protecting local economies and jobs."

19 Times Obama Promised to Lower Annual Insurance Premiums By $2500, how’s that working out for you?
Did Obama find a stash of choom??? You would have to be stoned or a total liar to believe this BS.
Obama is either insane or malicious, or, insane and malicious.
The President of the United States finds comfort in delusions. The reality is that electricity prices will increase, government bureaucracies will expand and the productive economy will contract.
How does shutting down power plants, or making them more expensive to operate, equal to lowering prices?
Period.
His mouth is moving ...
... you know the rest.
When you can’t buy it you save money ?
Bingo. And the lies just keep on coming.
So, who has worse brain damage - Obama, Hillary, or Joe Biden?
What. A. Farking. Liar.
That's it!
Let’s get right to the point:
Obamadork, you are a lying, scientifically illiterate piece of smelly excrement.
I will debate you any time, any place on things scientific...and, for that matter, probably even on the constitution...which appears to be another document that you couldn’t understand without a translator. What did you have on Harvard to get them to pass you, you illiterate POS?
Until then, please take a look around and shove everything you see up your smelly Obamahole.
There is no object in the multiverse deserving more loathing than you, you ignorant **shole.
The lapdog media continues to report his lies as gospel and his cult followers will continue to believe.
“if you like your electricity, you can keep your electricity”
i’m serious boys, if it’s not time now to saddle up and ride to the sound of the guns, it ain’t never gonna be !
for over 200+ years, there hasn’t been so much blood willingly shed by American heroes to preserve our freedom, just so an America-hating, lying queer like obozo can crawl in and be king over us !
