President Obama is going around Congress to force a steep 30 % cut in carbon emissions, so- called greenhouse gases, from coal fired power plants. He's using his executive authority purposing new EPA regulations to take his strongest action yet against climate change. As President and as a parent, I refuse to condemn our children to a planet that's beyond fixable. Linking the move to health problems like asthma, he taped his weekly address at the Children's National Medical Center. Often these illnesses are aggravated by air pollution. Pollution from the same sources that release carbon and contribute to climate change, and for the sake of all our kids, we've gotta do more to reduce it. The new rules reportedly would give states and local governments wide latitude in how to reduce carbon pollution, allowing them to encourage solar and wind power, instead of forcing power plants to close. In this midterm election year, it's a strategy designed to go head to head with Republicans who are making hay of the harm these regulations would do to the coal industry. The administration has set out to kill coal and its 800, 000 jobs. If it succeeds in death by regulation, we'll all be paying a lot more money for electricity if we can get it. The U. S. Chamber of Commerce estimates it will cost the economy $ 50 billion a year. Advocates say those claims are exaggerated. This is something we can't put off, and the President deserves huge credit for making this his legacy. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"EPA to Seek to Cut Power Plant Carbon by One-Third","description":"EPA to Seek to Cut Power Plant Carbon by One-Third","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/uaVc3TEf/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-06-02T13:37:17.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/uaVc3TEf.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/uaVc3TEf/","duration":"PT1M41S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/uaVc3TEf/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
