resident Obama on Monday announced new regulations on power-plant carbon emissions that will have a dramatic impact on how Americans make, store and use energy.
The president, speaking at the White House, touted the plan as a necessary step to combat global warming, even as the coal industry gears up to challenge the controversial regulations in court and Republicans prepare to fight them in Congress.
"There is such a thing as being too late when it comes to climate change," Obama said.
The plan calls for a 32 percent emissions cut by 2030, as compared with 2005 levels. The goals are even steeper than previously expected.
But already, the plan faces tough resistance. The Murray Energy Corporation, a coal mining company, announced Monday it would sue, and more than a dozen states and other companies were expected to take similar action. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, vowed to use legislation to thwart the president.

Jughead will have easier pickings with the Republican leaders than a Minnesota Dentist shooting pet lions in a game preserve!
Since when have they stopped Jughead from doing anything?

Wonders will cease if McConnell will really use legislation against it, though it would be in the interest of his state if he does

Why does FOX and other “News” TV broadcasts show video of Steam/Water Cooling Towers, when reporting on “pollution”?
Is Dihydrogen Monoxide sometimes unseen enemy of our planet?
I see a lot of it on TV, so it must be so!

More Marxist machinations. Obama has to go. Biden would be better and that’s saying a bunch.
