On May 11th, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed urgently needed limits on carbon emissions from power plants that burn coal and gas, targeting the source of about a third of U.S. carbon pollution—or a quarter of total greenhouse gas emissions.
On April 12th, the EPA proposed rules to cut carbon emissions from cars and trucks, which are still the nation’s No. 1 source of greenhouse gas emissions. These standards, like the power plant rules, complement the incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act that make it cheaper and easier to cut these dangerous emissions. These rules will also send a strong market signal for growing our clean economy.
Please join E2 to hear from two EPA Deputy Administrators Alejandra Nunez and Tomás Elias Carbonell about these critical rules and the important steps we can take to confront the climate crisis. NRDC Senior Strategic Director, David Doniger, will follow with a behind the scenes look at these rules, how they fit into the Clean Air Act and the importance of advocating for strong final rules.
