A few weeks ago, we shared the great news that the EPA is imposing strong limits on carbon pollution from fossil fuel-fired power plants through their authority under the Clean Air Act. We told you this was a big deal because it’s the most extensive proposal ever to clean up the power sector, which is the second largest source of climate pollution in the United States.
But just a few short weeks later, Republican Attorneys General in red states are filing a lawsuit to kill it. Their goal is to bring this all the way to the Supreme Court - and we all know what that would mean with a conservative majority who are dedicated to blocking our environmental progress.
These new emissions standards are expected to slash pollution by 83% below 2005 levels and create $370 billion in climate and health benefits over the next two decades - with almost no impact on our current electricity rates.
But Republicans are desperately trying to block this rule from going into effect and will do everything in their power to leave us with the dirtiest air possible, as long as it means fossil fuel companies continue making a profit.
