SACE Applauds Action as a Necessary, Tangible Step in Addressing Climate Change
“I applaud President Obama and EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy for taking this important step in addressing the challenges of climate change by ensuring that future power plants will not be allowed to dump unlimited carbon pollution into the air. These standards will provide critical public health and clean air safeguards and encourage a needed transition from dirty coal to cleaner energy resources. Dirty energy projects, like Georgia's proposed Plant Washington, simply cannot compete in today's diverse energy markets when solar, wind, bioenergy and efficiency are clean, cost-competitive and viable options. I urge EPA to finalize these standards and then move boldly to address the largest source of carbon pollution in our region and throughout the country: America's aging fleet of existing coal-fired power plants, which account for more than 40% of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions.”
