You just never know what the Supreme Court is going to do.
In an agreement with China, President Obama has already pledged to reduce America's net greenhouse-gas emissions by more than 25% by 2025. In return, China has agreed to 'peak' its carbon-dioxide emissions in 2030.

I'm fortunate to live in Wyoming, one of the most beautiful, pristine places in the world.
