Tech Has Big Role to Play in Climate Change Battle

The Obama administration once again has trained its spotlight on climate change. The Environmental Protection Agency this week announced a plan to cut carbon pollution, a leading cause of climate change, by an average of 30 percent nationwide by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. Power plants account for 40 percent of carbon pollution, the biggest driver of climate change. The new regulations would allow the U.S. to combat climate change while supplying the country with a reliable, affordable power source, the EPA said.
