Lies, Damn Lies, and Global-Warming Rules
The president is about to take a major step to fight global warming. Heres what you need to know.
President Obama promised to take action on global warming with or without Congresss permission. Next week, hell tell the world how he plans to do it.
The administration is preparing to release the central pillar of Obamas climate-change agenda: a proposal for far-reaching rules that will require power companies to cut carbon emissions.
The rules will mark the most significant federal action on climate change since Democrats cap-and-trade bill died in the Senate four years ago, and theyre Obamas best shot at adding broad action on global warming to his legacy.
The rules will also touch off a political war of the first order, offering battleground for environmentalists, industry groups, and politicians to fight over the nations energy future.
Heres what to watch for when the administration pulls back the curtain.
