EPA Clean Power Plan
On June 2, 2014, the EPA, under President Obama’s Climate Action
Plan, proposed a common-sense plan to cut carbon pollution from power
plants. Science shows that climate change is already posing risks to our
health and our economy. The Clean Power Plan will maintain an
affordable, reliable energy system, while cutting pollution and protecting
our health and environment now and for future generations.
This plan will reduce carbon pollution from existing power plants 30%
by 2030. That's a big deal—The New York Times called the President's
climate proposal “the strongest action ever taken by an American
president to tackle climate change.”
Facts on the Clean Power Plan
• Power plants are the largest source of carbon pollution in the United States, making up
roughly 40% of our carbon emissions.
• The United States already has limits on dangerous air pollution like mercury, arsenic and
lead, but right now there are no national limits on carbon pollution from power plants.
• The Clean Power Plan has public health and climate benefits. Reduced pollution under
the Clean Power Plan will avoid a projected thousands of premature deaths, heart attacks,
and hospital admissions, 140,000 to 150,000 asthma attacks in children, and 470,000 to
490,000 missed school and work days.
• From the soot and smog reductions alone, for every dollar invested through the Clean
Power Plan—American families will see up to $7 in health benefits.
• The proposal will put Americans to work making the U.S. electricity system less
polluting and our homes and businesses more efficient, shrinking electricity bills by
roughly 8 percent in 2030.
• The Clean Power Plan is flexible – reflecting the different needs of different states and
giving them the flexibility to craft their own plan for a cleaner, more efficient power fleet.
• Clean air and a strong economy go together. Modernizing power plants to cut pollution
can spark clean energy innovation right here at home, creating jobs and helping grow our
economy. For instance, higher fuel efficiency standards have helped the auto industry
grow and create hundreds of thousands of jobs.
