Obama Skirts Hostile Congress on China Climate Deal Goals

Facing a hostile Congress as a lame-duck president, Barack Obama will turn to his regulatory powers to meet the climate goals he promised in a landmark deal with China, bypassing already angry Republicans.

The Environmental Protection Agency will join with the U.S. Energy, Interior and Agriculture departments to target carbon pollution from power plants, methane from oil and natural gas drillers, chemicals used in millions of appliances and tailpipe emissions from trucks, railroads and even airplanes, business and environmental lobbyists predicted.

For Obama, the regulatory road offers a chance to claim the legacy on climate change he’s sought since his 2008 campaign. For Republicans opposed to the plan, it’s one more example of an out-of-control imperial presidency. While regulators can make significant changes in policy, they’ll arrive just as the president is set to leave office in 2016.

15. Paul Krugman on the President's Environmental efforts..

First of all, there has been much more progress on the use of renewable energy than most people realize. The share of U.S. energy provided by wind and solar has grown dramatically since Obama took office. True, it's still only a small fraction of the total, and some of the growth in renewables reflects technological progress, especially in solar panels, that would have happened whoever was in office. But federal policies, including loan guarantees and tax credits, have played an important role.

Nor is it just about renewables; Obama has also taken big steps on energy conservation, especially via fuel-efficiency standards, that have flown, somewhat mysteriously, under the radar. And it's not just cars. In 2011, the administration announced the first-ever fuel-efficiency standards for medium and heavy vehicles, and in February it announced that these standards would get even tougher for models sold after 2018. As a way to curb green house-gas emissions, these actions, taken together, are comparable in importance to proposed action on power plants.

Which brings us to the latest initiative. Because there's no chance of getting climate-change legislation through Congress for the foreseeable future, Obama has turned to the EPA's existing power to regulate pollution – power that the Supreme Court has affirmed extends to emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. And this past summer, the EPA announced proposed rules that would require a large reduction over time in such emissions from power plants. You might say that such plants are only a piece of the problem, but they're a large piece – CO2 from coal-burning power plants is in fact a big part of the problem, so if the EPA goes through with anything like the proposed rule, it will be a major step. Again, not nearly enough, and we'll have to do a lot more soon, or face civilization-threatening disaster. But what Obama has done is far from trivial.

The greening of Barack Obama

It’s an amazing turnaround, what he’s done,” said Rodger Schlickeisen, former president of Defenders of Wildlife. “It’s not the same as getting legislation. It’s not getting a new treaty ratified. But within the limits that he has to use executive power, I think it’s very impressive
