Governor Gordon Slams Announcement of EPA Rules that Seek to Shutter Coal-Fired Power Plants
Governor Mark Gordon has responded to an announcement of a?*rule package [ [link removed] ]* by the Environmental Protection Agency that would have disastrous impacts to Wyoming?s legacy energy industries, specifically coal and natural gas-fired power plants. Under the EPA rules, Wyoming coal fired units are given three choices: 1) shut down by January 2032; 2) convert to natural gas co-firing by 2030, with a forced shutdown by January 1, 2039; or 3) install C02 capture facilities by 2032.?
The Governor called the effects of the rules ?devastating? and vowed to challenge them in court. The Governor?s statement follows:
"?It is clear the only goal envisioned by these rules released by the Environmental Protection Agency today is the end of coal communities in Wyoming. EPA has weaponized the fear of climate change into a crushing set of rules that will result in an unreliable electric grid, unaffordable electricity, and thousands of lost jobs. This Administration has turned its back on the very industries and states that have made our country strong." "*Read the full statement. [ [link removed] ]*
