On August 3, the Obama administration released the final version of the Clean Power Plan, which aims to cut carbon emissions from power plants 32 percent from 2005 levels over the next 15 years.

What does that mean for an energy-producing state like Colorado? Inside Energy’s data journalist Jordan Wirfs-Brock explains (with charts!) the Rocky Mountain state’s current emissions situation, and how it can meet the EPA’s targets.
