HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf is taking a big step in his effort to fight climate change in the nation’s fourth-biggest emitter of greenhouse gases. The Democratic governor on Thursday ordered his administration to start working on regulations to bring Pennsylvania into a nine-state consortium that sets a price and limits on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Joining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative could face pushback from the Republican Legislature and the coal and gas industries.
