WRI Response to Supreme Court Stay of Clean Power Plan

The World Resources Institute (WRI) responds to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to temporarily halt the Clean Power Plan. WRI asserts that the plan is on solid legal ground and is essential for reducing power sector carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 32 percent from 2005 levels by 2030. The organization emphasizes that the plan supports a low-carbon economy, drives innovation, and improves public health, noting that renewable energy is often now cheaper than traditional fuels.

• The Clean Power Plan is designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector by an average of 32 percent from 2005 levels by 2030.
