CLIMATE CHANGE

States Seek Greenhouse-Gas Curbs. A battle over whether states
can use nuisance laws to curb greenhouse-gas emissions from power
plants will come to the Supreme Court Tuesday in a case that puts
a twist on the debate over climate policy. The case pits a
coalition of states against five of the nation's biggest power
companies and the Obama administration, which has said it intends
to curb greenhouse-gas emissions from big utilities but objects
to the way the states want to do it. Posted.

In Climate Change Case, Obama Administration Sides With Power
Companies, Not Environmentalists.  Washington -- The Obama
administration and environmental interests generally agree that
global warming is a threat that must be dealt with.  But they're
on opposite sides of a Supreme Court case over the ability of
states and groups such as the Audubon Society that want to sue
large electric utilities and force power plants in 20 states to
cut their emissions.  Posted.

Carbon Traders Predict On-Time Launch Of New GHG Market. Los
Angeles -- Carbon traders are cautiously optimistic that
California's nascent greenhouse gas market will be well-designed
and start on schedule. California's greenhouse gas trading
program, set to start next January, would be the biggest in North
America to date, covering 600 facilities and 166 million metric
tons of carbon dioxide at the outset of trading. Some advance
trades have taken place, but a robust secondary market has yet to
form. Traders at a carbon markets conference here said they are
not discouraged by California's rocky road to implementation of
its climate law. Posted.

Young Climate Activists Push Obama, Vow To Create More Local
Awareness. About 10,000 young climate change activists gathered
this weekend in Washington, D.C., for what they billed as the
largest grass-roots training event in the nation's history. The
third-ever Power Shift, which began Friday at the Walter E.
Washington Convention Center and ends today, drew speeches from
former Vice President Al Gore, former green jobs czar Van Jones
and U.S. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson. But the event's main
goal was to teach young environmentalists how to organize in
their communities. Posted.

GREEN ENERGY

Is Your Building Green? We’ll All Know Soon.  The District
imposed some of the nation’s toughest standards for green
construction in 2006, many of them to take effect in 2012.  But
developers didn’t need a deadline to get started.  Many are
incorporating energy-saving designs into their projects, hoping
to appeal to the federal government as it pushes new standards
and holds out the promise of millions of square feet of leases.
