Dear John,
Across the U.S. fossil fuel-fired power plants are releasing deadly smog, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and other forms of particle pollution at egregious and irresponsible levels.
These emissions don’t only impact communities on the fencelines of power-plants and industrial facilities, but can actually travel hundreds of miles across state lines! As this pollution travels, communities across the nation are exposed to health-harming particulates they’re not responsible for — resulting in emergency room visits, hospitalizations and even premature deaths. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working on stronger rules that will protect communities from coal fired power-plant pollution. Will join us in support of this effort that will slash pollution from power plants? Take action now! Submit a public comment to the EPA before tomorrow’s deadline and show your support for clean air solutions! [link removed]
The EPA’s “Good Neighbor Rule” will slash cross state air pollution by:
1 .Updating regulations that have already cleaned up some of the worst air pollution in the eastern U.S. for a decade;
2. Encouraging more power plants to invest in clean, affordable zero-emitting power — proven tools that will protect downwind states from deadly air pollution; and
3. Raising emissions standards, to ensure that power plants across the nation slash NOx pollution that threaten our health.
With new limits and new technologies in place we can protect the millions of Americans who are unknowingly subjected to dangerous pollution from coal plant smokestacks in upwind states — including communities of color and low wealth communities who are disproportionately affected by every source of pollution.
But the EPA needs to hear from you first! Take action before the public comment period ends tomorrow and protect communities from deadly air pollution. [link removed]
Thank you for your climate leadership,
