Jess Bravin and Stephen Power – Wall Street Journal – June 21, 2011

The Supreme Court blocked six states from suing power-plant operators over greenhouse-gas emissions, ruling Monday unanimously that pending federal regulation under the Clean Air Act pre-empts the case.

But the justices split 4-4 on related legal questions, leaving open the possibility that states could revive their action if the Obama administration fails to issue a final emissions rule by May 2012.

Prop 23: Global Warming Battle Heating Up in California Over Measure To Put State’s Climate Control Effort on Hold PDF Print E-mail

By George Cunningham

The move to delay California's tough climate control regulation has resulted in a backlash of opposition from those who favor proposed state regulation to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Because of the passion and hyperbole surrounding the debate over Proposition 23 - which would delay implementation of the state's Global Warming Solutions Act (also known as AB 32) until unemployment comes down to 5.5 percent for a full year - the actual facts of what the proposition means for the future tend to be lost in the war of words.

Tuesday, 27 July 2010 09:21

Many environmentalists suggest that China will be the country that makes carbon capture and sequestration viable — but Chinese officials remain unconvinced.

Shai Oster – Wall Street Journal – July 26, 2010

With its vast manufacturing base and heavy reliance on coal for electricity, China, already the world’s top emitter of global warming gases, is beginning to dominate some clean-tech sectors, including solar and wind power. Environmentalists, and the U.S. government, think it can replicate that success with storing carbon.
