EPA’s Proposed Rule for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Existing Power Plants is a Good Opening Bid

The Clean Air Task Force supports the EPA's proposed rule for existing fossil power plants, stating that the emissions reductions can be achieved at minimal cost primarily by shifting generation from high-emitting coal plants to underutilized natural gas plants. The organization notes that these regulations, alongside other EPA standards, will benefit public health by reducing premature deaths and asthma attacks.

• The EPA's proposed emissions reductions for existing power plants can be achieved with minimal economic disruption and low cost, largely by replacing electricity from the most polluting coal plants with electricity from existing, underutilized natural gas plants.
