"Obama Will Use Veto To Defend Climate Change Plan If Necessary" [1]

"Barack Obama will use all of his powers – including his veto – to defend his plan to fight climate change, the White House said, on the eve of new rules cutting carbon pollution from power plants.

Obama is expected to unveil the new rules as early as Monday, according to those familiar with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plan.

The final version will give states and electricity companies an extra two years – until 2022 – before they need to start cutting greenhouse gas emissions."

Suzanne Goldenberg reports for the Guardian July 30, 2015. [2]
