They are currently deciding whether to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants. You can weigh in with your comments, but the deadline for that is December 28th.  This is the easy way to send your comment, from CREDO:<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, President Obama&#8217;s Environmental Protection Agency issued a formal declaration that global warming pollution is a threat to public health and welfare \u2014 something that the rest of us have known for a long, long time.<\/p>\n<p>The way is cleared for the Clean Air Act to become an crucial weapon in our fight to stop climate change. The Obama administration is now in a position to regulate global warming pollution without having to wait for Congress (which has been lured into writing weak climate policies by industry lobbyists with deep pockets).<\/p>\n<p>Stand up for strong regulation of greenhouse gases before the deadline on Monday, Dec. 28. Clicking here will automatically sign your name to a public comment at EPA.<\/p>\n<p>Coal-fired power plants are by far the largest producer of global warming pollution in the U.S., and Obama&#8217;s EPA is now considering a rule that would finally allow these pollution-belching smoke stacks to be regulated. This is one of the President&#8217;s best opportunities to ensure we pass on a safer planet to the next generation, but we know that Big Coal is going to fight us at every turn.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA is accepting public comments on Obama&#8217;s plan to regulate greenhouse gases from coal-fired plants and other big polluters under the Clean Air Act. But the public comment period ends at the end of the day on Monday. We only have a short amount of time to show much needed support and counter the powerful coal industry lobby.<\/p>\n<p>This is urgent. Take action by 6:00pm Eastern time on Monday, Dec. 28th, and we will deliver your name along with our petition as a public comment to the EPA.<\/p>\n<p>Click here to send your comment on the petition.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This EPA has done more in the last 8 months than the previous EPA did in the last 8 years.
