The Obama administration’s final plan to cut power-plant emissions will be tougher than was proposed last year, a top White House official said, as a document emerged that showed the government will give states two additional years to comply.
White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said the final rule to fight climate change will be released soon, and will have new provisions to boost solar, wind and other renewable energy. President Barack Obama would veto any bill aimed at stopping the plan that would cut carbon emissions, he said.
