Barack Obama

It won't be the first or last time he takes on these controversial issues.

As President Obama tries to fight global warming without any backing from a gridlocked Congress, he's using every weapon in his executive arsenal. His Environmental Protection Agency will soon roll out controversial regulations on carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants. He's told every Cabinet agency to look into ways it can use its authority to act on climate change. And now the administration is stocking the executive branch with an army of new appointees who have a history of working aggressively on climate issues and clean energy, often from leadership jobs at environmental advocacy groups.

“They are feasible. And they should soon be expanded to include standards for existing power plants.

GO Senator Markey from the great state of Massachusetts!!!!
