Obama to Unveil 'Biggest Step Ever' in Climate Fight
Discovery News ^ | August 2, 2015

Posted on 08/02/2015 6:26:26 AM PDT by Zakeet

Part of President Obama's new plan is to cut carbon pollution from power plants by 32 percent by 2030.

President Barack Obama will Monday unveil what he called the “biggest, most important step we’ve ever taken” to fight climate change, a sensitive issue central to his legacy.

The White House will release the final version of America’s Clean Power Plan, a set of environmental rules and regulations that will home in on the pollution from the nation’s power plants, setting limits on power-plant carbon emissions.

Laying out how climate change was a threat to the health, well being and security of millions of Americans, and adding that time was of the essence, Obama said in a video released early Sunday: “Climate change is not a problem for another generation. Not anymore.”

The most aggressive of the regulations requires the nation’s existing power plants to cut emissions 32 percent from 2005 levels by 2030

2030...sounds about right...the next ice age should be freezing everything...

Not an idiot; rather an evil anti-civilization Muslim determined to destroy Western civilization.

"....not 31%, nor shall it be 33%. Nay. 32% shalt be the percentage of the carbon emissions reduction. Thus sayeth the dark lord. Amen."

"Does Iran have to comply?"

No, the Obola administration has cleverly negotiated to allow Iran to increase their carbon footprint by 32%, they will also receive a formal written apology from the U.S. for all of our enviro-crimes(past and present, real and imagined), and two draft picks to be named later. Obola really knows how to negotiate.

There is a way to fight this tomorrow. All the power companies serving DC just need to say great idea sparky, in fact, we are going to go you one better, we are going to cut all emissions by turning everything off tomorrow at noon. There will be zero emissions from that point forward easily beating your goal.

Of course that will not happen because the power companies don’t care...they just pass on costs to ratepayers and when the rates go up, they just pass it along, suckers.
