CATF Statement on GAIN Act Senate EPW Hearing
Summary
The Clean Air Task Force opposes the GAIN Act (S. 2662), asserting that it would create loopholes in the Clean Air Act's New Source Review (NSR) program. The organization claims the bill would allow coal-fired power plants and other major pollution sources to undergo life-extension projects without installing best available controls, leading to increased emissions and premature deaths.
Key insights
- The GAIN Act (S. 2662) is described as a measure that would dismantle the New Source Review (NSR) program of the Clean Air Act, which currently mandates that major pollution sources, such as coal-fired power plants, implement the best available controls during life-extension projects or changes that increase emissions.
