Remember a couple of months ago, when the EPA announced new carbon regulations? Remember how excited we were, because these regulations effectively outlaw new coal plants?

To recap David's post:

• The proposed regulations will only affect new plants, BUT
• the EPA may be legally obligated to regulate existing coal plants soon.
• Most importantly, the regulations will effectively outlaw new coal plants.
