EPA Mulls Regulating Coal-Fired Plants
--------------------------------------



The Environmental Protection Agency has announced it will consider
reversing a Bush administration order weakening regulation of coal-fired
power plants. On Tuesday, EPA head Lisa Jackson said the agency will
consider and hear public comments on reimposing limits on carbon dioxide
emissions. Jackson made the announcement in response to a Sierra Club
petition against a coal plant in Utah.
