The agency "has a huge role to play in continuing the work to move from where we are now to lower carbon emissions", said the official, who did not want to be identified as the EPA policies are still being formed.

EPA to issue more rules in climate fight
(Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will roll out more regulations on greenhouse gases and other pollution to help fight climate change, but they will not be as strong as action by Congress, a senior administration official said.
The agency "has a huge role to play in continuing the work to move from where we are now to lower carbon emissions", said the official, who did not want to be identified as the EPA policies are still being formed.

Duke Energy may retire aging coal-fired facilities
Duke Energy may retire aging coal-fired facilities

The company will also proceed with building a nuclear plant in Gaffney, S.C., which is expected to come online in 2020. The Charlotte Observer (N.C.)
