WASHINGTON — The White House on Tuesday introduced President Obama’s blueprint for cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the United States by nearly a third over the next decade.

Mr. Obama’s plan, part of a formal written submission to the United Nations ahead of efforts to forge a global climate change accord in Paris in December, detailed the United States’ part of an ambitious joint pledge made by Mr. Obama and President Xi Jinping of China in November.

The United States and China are the world’s two largest greenhouse gas polluters. Mr. Obama said the United States would cut its emissions by 26 to 28 percent by 2025, while Mr. Xi said that China’s emissions would drop after 2030.

Mr. Obama’s new blueprint brings together several domestic initiatives that were already in the works, including freezing construction of new coal-fired power plants, increasing the fuel economy of vehicles and plugging methane leaks from oil and gas production. It is meant to describe how the United States will lead by example and meet its pledge for cutting emissions.

I would hope that rather than President Cruz issuing executive orders, he undoes all of Obama’s and declares an end to EOs (and czars and the EPA and the IRS.......)

A president can’t order the end of executive orders which would apply to the next president.

And I have no problem with Cruz using them to undo all the mess Obama has created and then using them further to advance conservatism.

We need to stop fighting politics like we fight our wars (with both hands tied behind our backs) If they other side wants to use nukes, we HAVE to, or we will be destroyed.
