Biden EPA proposal on 'fossil fuel' power plant emissions would force many existing plants to shut down

The EPA's proposed rule would require existing and new power plants to dramatically reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 90 percent, using currently inefficient and cost-prohibitive so-called "carbon capture" technology, or be shut down by 2035, The Epoch Times reported.

A press release from the EPA on Thursday announced the new proposed carbon pollution standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants and put forward a number of broad estimates of the alleged benefits in terms of climate change and health.

"By proposing new standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants, EPA is delivering on its mission to reduce harmful pollution that threatens people’s health and well-being," EPA Administrator Michael Regan said. "EPA’s proposal relies on proven, readily available technologies to limit carbon pollution and seizes the momentum already underway in the power sector to move toward a cleaner future."

I would guess this is why the tree huggers in our city want the Electric Utility Director fired.

Another significant roadblock for the EPA's proposal is its legality, given that just last year the Supreme Court smacked down a similar proposal that dated back to the Obama administration and ruled that the EPA had overstepped its boundaries and had not been authorized by Congress to enact such sweeping regulations on the energy sector.
