President Obama has charted a creditable course given the limits set by a paralyzed and polarized Congress, moving toward
regulations curbing emissions of greenhouse gases from proposed and (more important) existing power plants.
In environmental policy, the Party promises stronger
greenhouse gas emission regulations and enforcement in the oil - patch; a water management plan to ensure that current and future needs are balanced; a moratorium on additional resource development on lakeshores and lake beds; a Green Energy Plan to support green energy projects and move the province away from coalpower; and a land - use framework that
curbs urban sprawl and safeguards farmland and habitats in the vicinity
of cities.
