New EPA Rules Target Coal, Gas Plants for 90% Emissions Cut by 2039
Apr 25, 2024, 09:13 AM

These rules, set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically target coal and natural gas-fired power plants. They mandate the installation of carbon capture systems at coal-fired plants and impose strict controls on carbon-dioxide emissions at both existing coal plants and newly built natural-gas plants, aiming for a 90% reduction by 2039. However, existing gas plants are exempt from these new limits. The regulations are designed to cut emissions impacting air, water, land, and climate, and are likely to face legal challenges.
