Hundreds of Democrats from 32 states are aligning against the centerpiece of President Obama's climate change agenda, the Clean Power Plan, which they say will cause unnecessary economic harm from increased reliance on renewable energy.
"As Democrats committed to a prosperous America and a healthy environment, we believe the United States has a unique opportunity to lead the world in addressing the global climate challenge, and yet do so, as we must, without unduly burdening the American economy or the American people," the Democratic coalition called CoalBlue said in a letter sent Tuesday to Obama.
The group joined with hundreds of Democratic officeholders and state, local and party officials in telling Obama that the Environmental Protection Agency's emission rules for power plants pose "serious and overriding concerns," representing the wrong approach to the problem of climate change.
"If we are going to provide real leadership in the world community on climate, we cannot begin by implementing policies that have no hope of succeeding outside of the United States, or possibly even within the United States," said the group's chairman, former U.S. Rep. Zack Space of Ohio. His state is one of 27 suing the EPA over the Clean Power Plan.

Some dumbocrats grew brain cells!?
10:04.. I really can't understand why you and others feel the need to use terms like 'dumbocrat' or 'libtard'. Can't you express your sentiments without resorting to name-calling (which is exactly what we criticize THEM for doing).
Besides, it isn't considered polite to make fun of mentally-ill people. We must try to be more kind. You know.. set an example.
I would have gone a little lower than 10:04 but will settle for saying they grew a spine! And I will also include several Republicans that seemed to be missing a spine until very recently!
The elections are coming soon and they see the tide turning. Anyone with 10 years or more should be voted OUT!! Republican or Democrats. Your vote is Term Limits.
I wonder how much Mikuski was worth going in compared to now?? I bet it's significant! !!!
