Washington (AFP) - With one eye on his legacy, US President Barack Obama will Monday unveil what he called the "biggest, most important step we've ever taken" in the fight against climate change.
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 pollution from the nation's power plants, setting limits on power-plant carbon emissions for the first time.
Plants will have to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 32 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, in an ambitious drive which will boost the renewable-energy sector but which is already facing stern opposition.
Obama will deliver his eagerly anticipated remarks at the White House at 2:15 pm (1815 GMT).
Laying out how climate change is a threat to the economy, health and security of America, 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 any more.
"Power plants are the single biggest source of harmful carbon pollution that contributes to climate change," added Obama, who made the battle against climate change a core promise of his 2008 election campaign.
"But until now, there have been no federal limits to the amount of that pollution that those plants can dump into the air."
He added that without imposing the unprecedented limits, "existing power plants can still dump unlimited amounts of harmful carbon pollution into the air weekly.
"For the sake of our kids, for the health and safety of all Americans, that's about to change."
Power plants account for some 40 percent of US emissions of carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.

Great news for all of the coal producing states that voted for Obama and his fascist agenda, hope the coal unions are happy too.
Of course the Republicans in Congress (a group of babboons) will do anything to stop his as they want the same things he does, POWER, a one world government.
All hail the new world order.
This means the end of Glass production in America, as well as any non-Fed Subsidized:
Steel Production
Aluminum Production
Paper Production
Ceramics and Alkali Production
It means MUCH higher cost and prices for:
Electricity and anything dependent on it for manufcturring
Gasoline
CEMENT
Metals-smelting of any kind
Hopey Changey!
Insane. Stark raving mad.
#2) The coal will still be there.
#3) Nobody will even want to mention Obama's name by then. Media included.
RE: Great news for all of the coal producing states that voted for Obama
How many coal producing states voted for Obama anyway?
RE:
#1) The renewables sector will be bankrupt and largely gone by 2018.
#2) The coal will still be there.
#3) Nobody will even want to mention Obama’s name by then. Media included.

The only top 10 coal producing states that I see on that list voting for Obama are : Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio.
Market forces dictate supply, demand, and technology. You can subsidize, regulate, legislate, all you want! In the end, it's about what makes sense. The problem is that we have a bunch of stupid people who make that timeline between being sold on something until it becomes reality, a very long timeline.
Look at the pipeline out of Canada for example. It will be built. Right now Buffet is getting filthy rich hauling the oil on his trains to refineries. Once the long term cost benefit analysis sinks in, that pipeline will go together in a snap. It doesn't matter who's at the political wheel. We just need a public smart enough to know what a cost to benefit analysis even is?
Obama did not carry Indiana in 2012.

“”Power plants are the single biggest source of harmful carbon pollution that contributes to climate change,” added Obama, who made the battle against climate change a core promise of his 2008 election campaign.”
Just in time for more Northeastern votes to freeze to death this winter and yet they will still vote for a Democrat. (both the live and dead ones.)
right NBC shows the same thing, my bad one wrong.
I’d never use wiki for anything, ever.
