EPA Looks To Remove Biden-Era Carbon Limits From Coal & Gas-Fired Power-Plants​

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has confirmed that it is drafting a plan to remove the caps on greenhouse gases from coal- and natural gas-fired power plants across the nation.

The Biden-era Clean Power Plan marks the third major attempt by the EPA to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. It follows the Obama administration’s original Clean Power Plan, which required power plants to shift toward lower-carbon sources of electricity.

“Many have voiced concerns that the last administration’s replacement for that rule is similarly overreaching and an attempt to shut down affordable and reliable electricity generation in the United States, raising prices for American families, and increasing the country’s reliance on foreign forms of energy,” the EPA spokesperson said.

“As part of this reconsideration, EPA is developing a proposed rule.”

“President [Donald] Trump promised to kill the Clean Power Plan in his first term, and we continue to build on that progress now,” the spokesperson quoted Zeldin as saying.

We will not see coal fired power plants come back on line that have closed. The ones shutdown under Obama have been stripped of anything useful and are barren. There is one by me and it will never be used again from what I hear. All employees are gone. Natural gas ok and hopefully this will reduce the conversion to solar and wind while keeping costs down for customers.
They say there are roughly 200 coal fired power plants left in the USA.
