Ask EPA to Keep Electricity Affordable

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in a proposed New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) for greenhouse gases (GHG), has effectively eliminated coal as a fuel source for new power plants. The proposed standards would require new coal plants to install carbon capture and storage, a technology that is not yet commercially available and is prohibitively expensive. This would eliminate coal as a fuel source for future generation and reduce America's fuel diversity. Tell EPA you oppose this proposed GHG standard for power plants. In addition, it is possible EPA will have to apply a New Source Performance Standards to existing units, which could make existing coal plants too expensive to continue operating.
