The Obama administration plans to solicit ideas from states on how to cut greenhouse-gas emissions as it seeks to impose standards for carbon dioxide on new and existing electric-power plants, according to people briefed on the plans.
President Barack Obama is set to deliver an address on climate change today, which will probably include measures to curb carbon-dioxide emissions from power plants, the largest source of emissions in the U.S. The administration is also considering delaying a rule for new plants as it begins to figure out how to regulate existing plants, according to people briefed on the matter who asked not to be identified so they could discuss the plans before they are unveiled.
