Coal-fired power plants would be forced to capture smokestack emissions or shut down under a rule issued Thursday by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
New limits on greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric plants are the Biden administration’s most ambitious effort yet to roll back planet-warming pollution from the power sector, the nation’s second-largest contributor to climate change, The Associated Press reports. The rules are a key part of President Joe Biden’s pledge to eliminate carbon pollution from the electricity sector by 2035 and economy-wide by 2050.
What grinds my gears (haha) is so many other countries spew shit into the water/air with no regulations or small fines. Yet here we are with even more rules. We need a world wide EPA.
