You still have time – urge EPA to tackle the climate crisis & cut
carbon emissions

Dear NRDC
Activist,

A mother who changed her job and moved her family away from
power plants to protect her son with severe respiratory problems
and keep him out of the hospital.

A New Jersey citizen with a degenerative heart condition who
spent several days in a room with an air purifier when the Air
Quality Index spiked well over 400 from Canadian wildfire smoke.

A resident in a low-income town just outside of Chicago whose
asthmatic household sits within three miles of five fossil fuel
plants.

Act NOW like these activists above! Submit a comment by next
Tuesday, August 8 to push for stronger limits on carbon pollution
from dirty power plants. ( [link removed] )

These are just three activists so concerned about public health
and the threats posed by deadly carbon pollution that they
attended an NRDC training to learn how they could get involved.
Then they spoke out at a public hearing to urge EPA to strengthen
its proposal to crack down on that pollution from coal- and
gas-fired power plants.

Fossil power plants currently face NO federal limits on
their carbon pollution, so these proposed standards are urgently
needed. Plus, if we all push for strong limits, EPA could do even
more in its final standards to address the dire threat of climate
change and protect public health and the environment.

Urge EPA to finalize stricter carbon limits and save lives before
it's too late. ( [link removed] )

EPA recently proposed standards to cut carbon emissions from
dirty power plants. Support the strongest carbon limits possible!

Dear NRDC Activist,

Thanks to activists like you, NRDC has been gathering
thousands of comments for submission to EPA, urging the agency to
cut mercury and other toxic air pollutants from power plants.

Last on our critical checklist for cleaning up power
plants: climate-warming carbon pollution.

The Biden administration's EPA just proposed new limits
that would significantly cut carbon emissions from coal- and
gas-fired power plants. Cleaning up electricity production is
critical: power plants that burn coal and gas are responsible for
one-third of U.S. carbon emissions.

Coal companies and the fossil fuel industry will be sure to
launch an all-out effort to squash these new safeguards. EPA will
soon open a public comment period on this proposal, so NRDC and
our allies need to rally the public and to push EPA to make the
safeguards even stronger.

Will you get involved and tell EPA
to finalize the strongest carbon standards possible? ( [link removed] )

Existing fossil power plants currently face NO federal
limits on their carbon pollution they emit, so EPA's proposed
standards are urgently needed.

One of EPA's core responsibilities under the Clean Air Act
for decades has been to reduce power plant pollution. The agency
has a legal obligation to regulate carbon pollution, which it
first attempted in 2015 — but thanks to lawsuits from the coal
industry and their allies, those standards never went into
effect.

The new proposed standards would set limits on power
plants' carbon pollution, and then give states and power
companies the flexibility to clean up dirty plants, reduce their
use, or retire them in favor of cleaner power from renewable
energy.

But EPA can do even more, even faster, by requiring greater
reductions from existing gas plants and securing emission
reductions from all power plants on a shorter timeline.

Urge EPA to strengthen their proposed limits on carbon
pollution from power plants. ( [link removed] )

These standards will put an end to unlimited carbon
pollution from the dirtiest power plants in the nation. They
build on the clean energy incentives in the landmark Inflation
Reduction Act law that passed in Congress last year that make it
cheaper, and easier, to clean up the power sector.

What's needed now is for EPA to implement the strongest
possible carbon pollution limits, and implement them quickly, to
confront the mounting dangers of the worsening climate crisis and
save lives.

Submit a public comment to EPA to finalize strong, durable
carbon limits that fight the climate crisis. ( [link removed] )

Getting behind these new power sector safeguards — and
pushing EPA to make them even stronger — is one of the most
important actions you can take right now in our ongoing campaign
to tackle the climate crisis. So please, act now.

Sincerely,

Lissa Lynch
