Byers, who spoke Tuesday during the Platts’ Coal Marketing Days conference in Pittsburgh, said that aside from the rule likely being an overreach of EPA authority, the rule ultimately will be ineffective in making a global difference.

 

He said that regardless of what happens in the U.S., foreign carbon emissions are expected to rise by 55 percent by 2040, he said.
