Power plant debate prompts war of stats

This photo taken June 2, 2014, shows a coal train stops near White Bluff power plant near Redfield, Ark. President Barack Obama’s new pollution limits for power plants have set off an avalanche of information about what the rules will cost, how they’ll affect your health, and how far they’ll go toward curbing climate change. There’s just one problem: Almost none of it is based in reality. That’s because Obama’s proposed rules, which aim to cut carbon dioxide emissions from power plants 30 percent by 2030, rely on states developing their own, customized plans to meet their targets. Among the options: switching to cleaner fuel sources, boosting efficiency to reduce demand for electricity and trading pollution permits through cap-and-trade.
