New EPA initiative targets coal-fired power plants

That phrase - coal-fired - always makes me think of the power plants I'd see while traveling about Pennsylvania. To get the coal, of course, requires trashing the land, a reality that many Pennsylvanians live with daily.
Here's what the EPA is up to: A new rule being drafted by the Environmental Protection Agency will primarily affect coal-fired power plants, the country’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. 

The NY Times offers some nice graphs to make  the picture clear: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/01/31/us/politics/an-aggressive-climate-initiative.html?emc=edit_tnt_20140204&tntemail0=y
