Home » Labor, environmental group cheers climate change regulation
The BlueGreen Alliance, a group made up of labor unions and environmental groups which includes the Sheet Metal Workers, are applauding the move by President Barack Obama to rein in carbon pollution from existing power plants.
The administration is proposing to cut carbon emissions 30 percent by 2030, an aggressive target that will greatly affect the nation’s many plants which use coal. Obama said the reductions will help combat climate change.
