EPA Climate Plan Sent to White House For Review

The Obama administration has teed up a busy summer on climate change, with the final review of its tentpole climate rule swinging into action.

The EPA set its rules on carbon emissions for existing power plants to the White House Office of Management and Budget for a final review, according to a website that tracks federal rulemaking. The rule is set to be finalized in August, according to OMB and a schedule of federal rulemakings.

EPA last June proposed cutting carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants by 30 percent of 2005 levels by 2030, targeting one of the nation's largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. The proposal sets specific targets for each state, allowing them to craft their own plans through measures like energy efficiency, upgrading power plants and shifting away from coal power.
