EPA and NHTSA, on behalf of the Department of Transportation, are issuing this joint proposal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025. This proposal extends the National Program beyond the greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy standards set for model years 2012-2016. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum requesting that NHTSA and EPA develop through notice and comment rulemaking a coordinated National Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of light-duty vehicles for model years 2017- 2025. This proposal, consistent with the President's request, responds to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. NHTSA is proposing C...
LAS VEGAS, March 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Caesars Entertainment Corporation, formerly known as Harrah's Entertainment, Inc., announced another environmental first for the gaming entertainment industry with its U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon inventory by 10 percent from 2007 to 2013.

The United States EPA is proposing new source performance standards for emissions of carbon dioxide (CO<INF>2</INF>) for new affected fossil fuel-fired electric utility generating units (EGUs). The EPA is proposing these requirements because CO<INF>2</INF> is a greenhouse gas (GHG) and fossil fuel-fired power plants are the country's largest stationary source emitters of GHGs. The EPA in 2009 found that by causing or contributing to climate change, GHGs endanger both the public health and the public welfare of current and future generations. The proposed requirements, which are strictly limited to new sources, would require new fossil fuel-fired EGUs greater than 25 megawatt electric (MWe) to meet an output-based standard of 1,000 pounds of CO<INF>2</INF...
EPA and NHTSA are announcing public hearings to be held for the joint proposed rules ``2017 and Later Model Year Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards,'' published in the Federal Register on December 1, 2011. The agencies will also accept comment on NHTSA's Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS), available on NHTSA's Web site at http:// www.nhtsa.gov/fuel-economy. Three hearings will be held, on January 17, January 19, and January 24, 2012. The agencies will assume that all oral comments presented at the hearing are addressed to the joint proposed rules only, unless speakers specifically reference NHTSA's Draft EIS in oral or written testimony.
The US faces many challenges. One such challenge that has risen to the forefront of both the national and global conscience is that of global warming. This comment focuses, in particular, on the difficult choices policymakers face in determining how to address global warming. This comment has focused on two difficult climate change questions that currently face policymakers: whether the US should take action to mitigate climate change, and how to best reduce carbon emissions. Of the two most recognized regulatory programs -- carbon tax and cap-and-trade -- a carbon tax would be the most administratively simple and timely method to reduce carbon emissions. Cap-and-trade, a more complex and volatile system, is the political frontrunner and the solution proposed by Pres Obama and his admin...
The EPA published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2012, the proposed rule, ``.'' The EPA is making two announcements: first, two public hearings will be held for the proposed , and, second, the comment period for this rulemaking will be extended until June 25, 2012.
