Supreme court ruling on Obama's clean power plan just a 'bump in the road'

Many states have begun shifting funds to clean energy, and the administration has touted measures such as tax credits that it says will have a larger impact on curbing emissions - and still anticipates a win in the supreme court in June

The supreme court hit the pause button on Barack Obama's plans to cut climate pollution from power plants, injecting new uncertainty into the viability of Obama's climate plan once he leaves office in 2017. But that will not bring back coal from the brink, and it may not stop some states and power companies from moving ahead on their own to clean up the US electrical grid.

A day after the supreme court's 5-4 ruling to halt the Environmental Protection Agency rules cutting carbon emissions from power plants, the White House dared to describe the decision as little more than "a bump in the road".
