The official comment period on the Clean Power Plan closed this week and EPA has been inundated with an unprecedented 8 million comments calling for the unlimited carbon pollution era to end once and for all. My blog this week provides an overview of the very public cooperative federalism EPA is engaged in:

My colleague David Weiskopf provides an overview of the comment submitted by NextGen Climate America, which supports the rule and urges EPA to strengthen it by making sure states actually reduce pollution as much as it calls for, rather than sweeping some under the rug-or pushing it across state lines:
