"CHICAGO - Two dozen activists stormed a public hearing on Monday hosted by the Environmental Protection Agency to rail against its plan to lift Obama-era carbon limits on power plants, causing agency officials to leave the room until the demonstration ended.
The protest marred the EPA’s only scheduled hearing on its proposed Affordable Clean Energy rule, a controversial plan that would allow states to write their own emissions guidelines instead of adhering to the strict limits set out in President Barack Obama’s so-called Clean Power Plan - the centerpiece of his efforts to combat global climate change.
The EPA will take written comments for another 30 days before finalizing the rule."
