Experts weigh in on EPA's carbon rules, climate legislation
Although Congress has more power than the Environmental Protection Agency to create a climate-change program that can be part of a national energy policy, EPA regulation is preferable to legislation that is soft on pollution, according to Reid Detchon, an executive at the United Nations Foundation.
