State GHG programs could see legal hurdles

摘要

State-based greenhouse gas programs are steadily building momentum as regulators move past the mere setting of targets and start working out how best to meet them. But some opponents of these programs are quietly preparing to bring progress to a screeching halt. Those working against state-based GHG programs have so far been content to voice their opposition in stakeholder meetings and press releases. Regulators and legislators still have not carved anything in stone, and public pressure may still persuade them to alter or abandon their GHG proposals.
