John,
Pollution from burning fossil fuels is warming our planet and harming our health.
This pollution was responsible for more than 350,000 deaths in the U.S. in 2018.[1]
To help save lives, power plants are required to cut global warming pollution. But now the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working to undo climate progress and give polluters a free pass.[2]
The EPA wants to repeal all the limits on global warming pollution from power plants. Tell the EPA: Don't roll back clean air and climate progress.

You probably can't see the climate pollution in the air, but you can feel it. The air is hotter as temperatures break records. Wildfires burn longer and hotter and larger, tearing through communities. The rain is heavier and the flooding comes faster.
Burning fossil fuels can also lead to smoggy skies that are dangerous for our health.
We've made progress for cleaner air, but we have to keep going. Almost half of Americans are still living with unhealthy levels of air pollution.[3]
Power plant pollution contributes to asthma and other respiratory illnesses and even an increased risk of cancer. And climate change can make this air pollution worse.
Will you take action for clean air and a healthy climate? Add your name today.

Our overheated atmosphere is fueling more extreme weather events, making extreme heat, flooding, wildfires, hurricanes and drought more common and more deadly.[4]
Limiting pollution from power plants helps tackle climate change and its devastating impacts.
The existing power plant rules are projected to reduce carbon pollution by nearly 1.4 billion metric tons. They'll also avoid thousands of premature deaths, asthma attacks and emergency room visits.[5]
Reducing global warming pollution helps protect our health and our climate. We're already getting power plants to clean up their act -- why should we go backwards?
The EPA is seeking input from the public on its plans to undo power plant rules, but you only have until Aug. 7 to make your voice heard. Add your name before the Aug. 7 deadline: Power plants shouldn't be given a free pass to pollute our air.
