| Dear Friend, |
| For too long, fossil-burning power plants have had a free pass to pollute. Coal and gas-fired power plants are responsible for more than 30% of U.S. carbon pollution, and they also emit other pollutants that harm our air, water, and health. |
| For years Earthjustice has fought to clean up power plants and expedite the transition to clean energy. The Biden administration has proposed new standards that would set limits on the amount of carbon pollution power plants are allowed to emit. Join us and urge the administration to enact the strongest possible standards to reduce pollution from dirty power plants. |
| Strong carbon pollution standards are essential to meet the Biden administration’s climate and environmental justice commitments. Cleaning up the power sector also helps us cut pollution from other sectors. As we electrify our economy, it must run on clean energy. |
| As this proposal moves forward, the Biden administration must listen to and address concerns from communities who are bearing the unjust burden of power plant pollution and who are on the front lines of the climate crisis. The EPA must conduct rigorous monitoring, verification, and enforcement and establish adequate protections to ensure that these standards are effective. |
| Tell the Biden administration: Our health — and our climate — can’t wait. It’s time to act boldly and swiftly to finalize and implement the strongest possible pollution standards to meet its climate, public health and environmental justice goals. |
