- The Obama administration offers details on how the U.S. proposes cutting greenhouse gases over the next decade, part of a formal submission to the UN ahead of a global effort this year to curb emissions of carbon dioxide.
- The proposed U.S. cuts rely mostly on previously announced rules for power plant emissions and vehicle efficiency, including a 26%-28% reduction in emissions by 2025 which was unveiled last fall in Beijing.
- Environmental groups generally praise the plan, particularly the fact that the pollution cuts can be achieved without action from Congress.
