The Existing Source Performance Standards (or ) being applied under section 111d of the Clean Air Act to coal- and gas-fired power plants already in operation are called by the  the ‘Clean Power’ Plan. Don’t buy it.  More accurate names would be the Costly Power Plan or the Skyrocketing Rates Power Plan (h/t Alan Carlin) or the Obama Power Grab (h/t Senator McConnell’s office) or the National Energy Tax (h/t Speaker Boehner’s office).
