It's not clear yet what "best available technology" will mean for carbon - especially in the case of new coal plants, which have no real way to drastically limit carbon emissions.

In a nearly two-decade career, she has taken down Catholic cardinals, Albanian mafiosi and bank presidents in major corruption and drug cases. She has been leading the attack on the defense team's scientific experts, and her sharp retorts and exasperated outbursts snap sleepy reporters back to attention.
