An update. On Wednesday, I noted that:

For lack of federal enforcement action, eight northeastern states are setting up a consortium to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. They have nothing to fear from Republicans in Washington, who are known for their support of federalism. Right?

Buried on page 150 of a new fuel regulation from our Republican overlords is a shocking deviation from this bedrock principle. Who ever would have guessed?
