答案：AD

The United States produces more greenhouse gases（温室气体） than any country in the world, apart from China. The plan to curb（抑制，控制） emissions（排放） from fossil-fueled（化石燃料） power plants（发电厂） is the most ambitious（雄心壮志的） measure（措施） proposed（提出） by President Obama in his efforts to tackle（处理，治理） climate change. The details（细节） of the plan will be laid out（展示，安排，设计） by the Environmental Protection Agency. It will give broad（广泛的） flexibility（灵活性） to states to decide how to meet carbon reduction（降低） targets（目标）, whether by closing coal-fired power stations and switching（改变，转变） to cleaner sources of energy, or by creating cap-and-trade schemes（碳交易;总量管制与交易制度; 总量控制与交易制度; 限额交易; 限量及交易）. Some US media are reporting that by 2030 the government wants a 30% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. Business groups and Republicans fiercely（激烈地） oppose（反对） the new regulations（条例，规则）, and say they're likely to drive up（使…上升） electricity prices. But for the president the measure is important for his environmental legacy（遗产） and in order to show global leadership（领导力） on climate change.
