Regulation pollution

Megan McArdle previews the proposed emissions limits - and the likelihood they come to pass before 2017.
As with any new Environmental Protection Agency rule, a lengthy comment period will ensue. After the comment period, the EPA presumably has discretion about the deadlines they set. With a big election coming in 2016, and some nice, big, coal-consuming swing states on the line, I would wager cash money that those deadlines are set no earlier than Dec. 31, 2016.
So Hillary, what difference will these regulations make?
