Today, the Biden administration finalized federal carbon pollution standards for new gas-fired power plants and–for the first time–existing coal-fired plants. One large project that could be impacted by the new rule is the proposed Dominion and Santee Cooper shared combined cycle methane gas plant.
the Biden administration finalized federal carbon pollution standards for new gas-fired power plants and–for the first time–existing coal-fired plants. In Florida, we have many examples of coal-burning power plants that continue to operate even while their risk to health and climate are exponentially greater than all other alternatives.
Today, the Environmental Protection Agency finalized a package of four federal rules that will cut air and water pollution from power plants across the country. The new carbon pollution standards, in particular, will impact Oklahoma power plants and the communities that have breathed in their pollution for generations.
Washington, D.C. – Today, the Biden administration finalized federal carbon pollution standards for new gas-burning power plants and–for the first time ever–existing coal-burning plants. These critically-needed standards will slash carbon pollution and improve air quality for families and communities across the country.
ALBANY, NY – In a major win for the climate and public health, the Environmental Protection Agency finalized four separate standards today that will slash air, water, and carbon pollution from power plants. These critically needed safeguards will improve air and water quality for families, particularly for New York communities suffering from air pollution produced by coal plants in neighboring states and regions, such as Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Today, the EPA finalized federal carbon pollution standards for new gas-fired power plants and — for the first time ever — existing coal-fired plants. These critically needed standards will slash carbon pollution and improve air quality for families and communities across Kentucky and the country.
Washington, D.C. – In a major win for the climate and public health, the Environmental Protection Agency finalized four separate standards today that will slash air, water, and carbon pollution from power plants.
These critically-needed safeguards will improve air and water quality for families, particularly for Michigan communities suffering from DTE’s Monroe coal-burning power plant, the largest climate polluter in the state and third largest in the country.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Today, the Biden administration finalized federal carbon pollution standards for existing coal-fired plants and new gas-fired power plants. These critically needed standards will slash carbon pollution and improve air and water quality for families and communities across Maryland.
CHARLOTTE, NC — Today, the Biden administration finalized federal carbon pollution standards for existing coal-fired plants and new gas-fired power plants. These critically needed standards will slash carbon pollution and improve air quality for families and communities across North Carolina.
PINEVILLE, La. — Today, the Biden administration finalized federal carbon pollution standards for new gas-fired power plants and — for the first time ever — existing coal-fired plants. These critically needed standards will slash carbon pollution and improve air quality for families and communities across the country.
Christine, Tex. – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finalized a package of four federal rules that will cut air and water pollution from power plants across the country. One of these rules, the updated Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), will have a particularly big impact on Texas communities near lignite-burning power plants because it will – for the first time – require these plants to follow the same mercury standards as other coal plants.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Today, the EPA issued new rules to reduce pollution from power plants that will impact the Tennessee Valley Authority service area. These include the finalized federal carbon pollution standards for new gas-fired power plants and — for the first time ever — existing coal-fired plants, coal combustion residuals known as coal ash and solar generation access. These critically needed standards will slash carbon pollution and improve air and water quality for families and communities across the South.
