Dead Fuel Walking: Finally, CO2 Regs on Coal

About. Fucking. Time. Let's hope it's not Too. Fucking. Little. Too. Fucking. Late.

Think Progress

The White House tweeted on Saturday that Obama’s long-awaited climate speech will come Tuesday afternoon at Georgetown University. The President said in an accompanying video (below):

In my inaugural address, I pledged that America would respond to the growing threat of climate change for the sake of our children and future generations.

This Tuesday, I’ll lay out my vision for where I believe we need to go –- a national plan to reduce carbon pollution, prepare our country for the impacts of climate change, and lead global efforts to fight it.

The Washington Post reports that, “Obama will couch the effort not only in terms of the nation’s domestic priorities, but as a way to meet the administration’s international pledge to reduce the country’s greenhouse-gas emissions 17 percent below 2005 levels.”

If he's serious, it means the end of fossil fuels. Because you can't cut greenhouse gas emissions and keep the fossil fuel industry.

This is gonna be a fight to make passing the Affordable Care Act look like a post office naming bill.
