Climate Change : The EPA Has Gone Overboard, A Debate

Infobase, (film distributor.). Intelligence2 (Added Author).

Summary: Reducing carbon emissions to combat climate change benefits the environment yet can often impose substantial costs. Such costs are most obvious when coal companies go bankrupt but can affect everyone indirectly through higher energy prices, slower economic growth, reduced employment, and lower business profits. In 2015, President Obama authorized the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to implement the Clean Power Plan, a program designed to set and enforce standards among the states to limit carbon emissions. Some hailed the president's action as a bold initiative to cut pollution and fight climate change, but others denounced it as executive overreach and an unconstitutional usurpation of power. In imposing the Clean Power Plan, has the EPA gone overboard?
