COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Supporters of sweeping new federal plans to cut carbon dioxide emissions from power plants said Monday that it could be more difficult — though not impossible — for Ohio to achieve its target reductions if state lawmakers and Gov. John Kasich follow through with their plans on two energy-related bills.
Ohio legislators are expected to act quickly this week on a bill that tries to limit the impact of the federal proposal, which would cut total carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by almost a third by 2030 compared with 2005 levels. States may get several years to submit plans to cut pollution under the rule, which is a key part of President Barack Obama’s plans to reduce pollution linked to global warming.
