The Hill reports that “despite meeting fierce opposition from the GOP in 2013, a group of clean energy experts, business leaders and former government officials believe President Obama’s climate agenda has been and will continue to be successful in the coming year.”

“Obama can advance key measures in the battle against climate change with or without Congress, according to a report released Tuesday — spearheaded by former Colorado Governor Bill Ritter.”

“Ritter met with the administration last week to discuss the 207-page report, which includes roughly 200 recommendations on how Obama can utilize his executive authority to push clean energy standards that are in line with the his climate plan.”
