New EPA Regulations Can Be Business-Friendly

The Bloomberg Editorial Board calls on the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate carbon emissions from existing coal plants, noting that it “is possible, however, to take industry’s concerns into account.”
“The EPA could work with states to set limits on total carbon emissions and then let local governments figure out how to get there — a model that’s already in place for ozone and other pollutants. And in crafting the rules, the agency could give the power industry a seat at the table, as it did when it worked with carmakers to draft fuel-efficiency standards for automobiles.”
