Abstract
- The article focuses on the plan of the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. power plants and the role of economic elites in public policymaking. Topics include the history of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the policy discussion group the Ash Council, and U.S. states' prioritizing of economic development over environmental protection. Competition for capital, clean air regulations and pollution regulation are also discussed.
