Climate Change

Climate disruption is our generation's greatest challenge. The biggest single driver of climate disruption is carbon pollution pumped into the public's air, free-of-charge, from existing power plants. In fact, power plants are responsible for 40% of all carbon pollution.

In June of 2014, EPA finally proposed the Clean Power Plan to reduce carbon pollution from existing power plants 30% by 2030. The proposal is a substantive step forward in reducing carbon pollution and toward a stable climate for future generations.

The Clean Power Plan will help spur a clean energy econ omy that can drive down electricity bills and create hundreds of thousands of dependable jobs. We must act to ensure the proposal is finalized and protect it from fossil-fuel funded climate deniers.
