It has been politically impossible to get Congress to consider legislation that would cause power plants and other energy users to internalize the costs passed on to others from pollution. Carbon taxes and cap and trade proposals are off the table. The EPA, however, has a mandate to limit the environmental impact of greenhouse gases and it has decided to use its authority to do so. This article describes some of the actions that it is taking to limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The GOP will respond with threats to cut the EPA budget and other tactics but the EPA has current law on its side.
