The Clean Power Plan has become an enormous part of Obama's "climate legacy" and also a way to circumvent both chambers of a Republican-controlled congress. The ongoing challenge to the Clean Power Plan will be whether Obama acted within his constitutional powers or if he, and by extension the EPA, bypassed congress to roll out a bevy of onerous regulations.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics9_coal-fired-plant.jpg
