“Even though EPA has had the proposed version of these rules on the books for about a year, major utilities, including Duke, Georgia Power, TVA, Dominion Energy South Carolina, and Santee Cooper have failed to adequately plan to comply with the rules, while committing tens of billions of ratepayers' dollars to gas projects subject to these rules. (Thursday's) announcement sends a clear signal: utilities and regulators must rethink the reckless drive toward a risky gas-dominant future.”
