Wanted: Dead or Alive? An Update on the Status of EPA's Clean Power Plan (Mar 2017)
The validity and merits of the EPA’s Clean Power Plan have been the focus of contentious debate—with a number of significant governmental and private entities seeking to uphold the Plan and others seeking to kill it.

What now? This presentation offers a prognosis for the Clean Power Plan.
