The Obama Administration is spending a lot of time these days defending their so-called clean power plan - new regulations on power plants aimed at cutting carbon dioxide emissions. The idea is to make sure CO2 levels in 2030 are 30 percent lower than they were in 2005. To get there, the feds assigned each state a target emissions reduction rate. Some states have a lot to cut -- over 70 percent in Washington. Others much less -- in North Dakota, just 11 percent. Inside Energy reporter Emily Guerin wanted to know why.
