The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to delay the Environmental Protection Agency's climate rule for power plants and let state governors opt out of complying. The bill, passed 247-180, is a major blow to the main pillar of President Obama's effort to reduce the greenhouse gases that cause climate change, although the White House has promised a veto to protect his legacy. The regulation's enforcement would also be delayed until all court challenges are resolved. The GOP believes that the rule will not withstand judicial review, so the delay is designed to ensure that the regulation never takes effect. --Timothy Cama and Cristina Marcos, The Hill, 25 June 2015https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_capital_hill.jpg
