Take this opportunity reduce emissions, protect public health, and advance renewable energy.
Why is this important?
The Clean Power Plan regulates carbon emissions from the most significant source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States: power plants. It provides a flexible framework for states to reduce their emissions by 30% through advancing the role of renewable energy, installing carbon filters on existing power plants, and updating older power plants. Not only will the Clean Power Plant reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it will also reduce American dependence on foreign oil, and benefit the economy by creating thousands of jobs in the renewable energy industry.
