Backdoor energy regulation (Washington, D.C.)
President Barack Obama is calling on members of Congress to do something about climate change.
But it’s becoming increasingly clear that the real action on greenhouse gas and global warming, and the impact that action will have on business, is coming not from the halls of Congress, but from various regulatory agencies with leaders appointed by the president.
But the president is no dummy. He knows that such legislation may be an even tougher sell than health care in the Senate—and health care has clearly been no walk in the park. There are other ways to move that particular ball forward that don’t involve Congress.
