Making Sense of EPA's Proposed Rule for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Existing Power Plants
Event Tabs Default Post-Event
As EPA's upcoming announcement on regulations for existing power plants approaches, there are reasons to think that the potential emissions reductions achieved within the electricity sector under the Clean Air Act could be as great as what would have been accomplished under the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (Waxman-Markey). Also, analysis by RFF researchers has shown that these forthcoming EPA regulations could be cost-effective, depending on how they are implemented. A variety of options are available to the states and EPA to help meet these new standards for greenhouse gas emissions while also meeting the needs of each state's constituents.
Join Resources for the Future (RFF) for an expert discussion of the new proposed rule and the challenges and opportunities that implementing the rule might bring.
