McCarthy Undeterred on Plans to Finalize Power Plant Carbon Rules This Summer

摘要

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency said March 11 she remains undeterred in the face of attacks on the EPA's power plant carbon pollution limits-including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's recent call for states to ignore them. In a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy vowed the power plant limits-which call for cutting carbon dioxide emissions 30 percent by 2030 from 2005 levels-will be finalized this summer.
