www.energyjusticenetwork.org/cleanpowerplan

DEADLINE is Mon­day, Decem­ber 1st

As you prob­a­bly know, the EPA has pub­lished its Clean Pow­er Plan, intend­ed to reduce car­bon emis­sions from the nation’s elec­tric­i­ty sec­tor, for pub­lic com­ment. Our com­ments ask EPA to:

  • Set more aggres­sive targets
  • Com­ply with the Civ­il Rights Act and address envi­ron­men­tal justice
  • Reg­u­late pow­er plants (not states) and dis­al­low pol­lu­tion trad­ing and offsets
  • Close the methane loop­hole and not bless the move from coal to gas, which is worse for the cli­mate than coal
  • Close the bio­genic CO2 loop­hole, and dis­al­low a shift from coal to bio­mass and waste incin­er­a­tion, whose CO2 emis­sions are also worse than coal
  • Dis­al­low nuclear pow­er subsidies
  • Dis­al­low new invest­ment in old coal plants
  • Reject car­bon cap­ture and seques­tra­tion and enhanced oil recovery
