UN Dispatch
"Two particularly hopeful measures proposed [by Obama on Tuesday] include new restrictions on coal power plants (which account for 40% of the USA's carbon emissions) and a directive to the federal government to get 20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020. As Dave Roberts points out, the federal government is the world's single largest energy consumer, so this is a big deal. Those measures alone could make important dents in the USA's total carbon emissions." UN Dispatch (6/25)
