The Environmental Protection Agency will propose requiring future coal-burning plants to take unprecedented steps to limit their climate-changing emissions, with pollution levels that would force them to curb or capture 40 percent of their greenhouse gas output, according to information provided by sorces late Thursday. The proposed rule, expected to be formally unveiled Friday morning, is EPA’s first step in fulfilling President Barack Obama’s promise to tackle climate change without waiting for Congress. Republican lawmakers and other coal industry supporters have already denounced the proposal, saying it would impose draconian and unrealistic restrictions on coal-burning power plants.
