Teeing Up For the Paris Climate Change Summit--President Obama To Unveil The Clean Power Act

++President Obama tomorrow will unveil "the biggest ,most important step we've taken " to fight climate change.  In prior months, EPA chief Gina McCarthy has said that the states can easily meet the requirements of this new standard. 

++America's Clean Power Plan will be  a set of environmental rules and regulations setting limits on power plant emissions. Believe or not,there are no such limits now.

++40% of the US' emissions of carbon dioxide come from power plants. Coal-fired plants account for 37% of the country's energy outputs.

++In another legacy issue, today's New York Times lead editorial is about the odor of mendacity surrounding the Republicans' attempt to kill the Iran nuclear bill.
