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.

Sounds like “making” it to me...as opposed to “releasing” energy from chemical reaction.
There is a scientific law called the Law of Conservation of Mass, discovered by Antoine Lavoisier in 1785. In its most compact form, it states:
Matter is neither created nor destroyed.
In 1842, Julius Robert Mayer discovered the Law of Conservation of Energy. In its most compact form, it it now called the First Law of Thermodynamics:
Energy is neither created nor destroyed.
In 1907, Albert Einstein announced his discovery of the equation E = mc2 and, as a consequence, the two laws above were merged into the Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy:
The total amount of mass and energy in the universe is constant.
Generally, textbooks would add, that mass and energy can interconvert.
Well all I know is that Mitch has a lotta quit in him. :-)
If Obama says Carbon is pollution why doesn’t he sequester himself.... far away from the white house.....
Humans are buit out of Carbon and Water like a majority of the stuff that comes out of smokestacks....
I’m sure that the first thing out of our little boy King’s mouth will be “I have a phone and a pen.” Deliver us LORD please from this insolent little boys tantrums.
Whoa!!! That caught my eye.
The Republican leadership is going to
Fight The Dictator on something???!!!
Oh sure, something that upsets the lobbyists.
If it’s about baby murder and dismemberment,
Nuclear giveaway, or financially breaking the US,
Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That!!!!!!
[Sit down, shut up and fund it, you useless sack of friggin’ crap]
Is this the proper tone to use when speaking of the senior
Senator from KY?
It is in my book!!!!!!!!
Two thumbs up and a couple of big toes thrown in!!
I expect Boehner and McConnell to dig in their heels and fight this to the bitter end. *snark*
Shut em down now. Let them find out how well they do around that area without power.
I would give it five days max and the good little NAZI bastards in the white hut would fold.
and that’s the name of that tune.
“GOP lawmakers vow fight”
Who wants to make book on how long before they cave ?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
— Who wants to make book on how long before they cave ? -—
My guess is that the caving plan has already been drawn up and is ready to be implemented with the requisite speeches and show-votes.
This will be just like Obamacare
When everything is said and done.....
The GOP led by Boehner and McConnell will do nothing to stop it.
Will this be enforced with anytime, anywhere inspection?
GOP lawmakers say they will fight.
Yeah, right.
