WASHINGTON (AP) -- Within weeks, President Barack Obama's administration is set to unveil unprecedented emissions limits on power plants across the U.S., much to the dismay of many Democratic candidates who are running for election in energy-producing states. Fearful of a political backlash, they wish their fellow Democrat in the White House would hold off until after the voting.
But Obama can't wait that long.
Unlike the Keystone XL oil pipeline, whose review the administration has delayed, probably until after November's elections, the clock is ticking for the power plant rules — the cornerstone of Obama's campaign to curb climate change. Unless he starts now, the rules won't be in place before he leaves office, making it easier for his successor to stop them.
So even though the action could bolster Republican attacks against some of this year's most vulnerable Democrats, the administration is proceeding at full speed. Obama's counselor on climate issues, John Podesta, affirmed that the proposal will be unveiled in early June — just as this year's general election is heating up.

These fools won't be satisfied until every fossil fueled powerplant, car, truck, industry is shut down and every cow phart is corked. Even then that wouldn't make a damned bit of difference in "climate change" or "global warming" or whateverthehell you want to call it ... Not. One. Damned. Bit. Of. Difference.
In the meanwhile the United States becomes the world's newest and largest 3rd World hell hole, worse even than North Korea or Haiti.
