We know that we can’t fight climate change if we keep burning vast quantities of fossil fuels for electricity.
The devastating impacts of climate change have never been clearer, and we’re only just starting to experience the tip of the iceberg.
We know that we can’t fight climate change if we keep burning vast quantities of fossil fuels for electricity. That’s why the EPA has proposed new rules that would limit the greenhouse gas pollution from power plants — and we need to show the agency that there’s broad public support.
We simply can’t turn the tide on climate change without cleaning up how we generate electricity: Coal- and gas-fired power plants are responsible for about a quarter of the United States’ greenhouse gas pollution.
There’s no one silver bullet to address the climate crisis, but this is a bold proposal that will make a serious dent in the United States’ greenhouse gas pollution. It would keep more than 600 million metric tons of planet-warming emissions from being spewed into the air — that’s the equivalent of taking half of the cars in America off of the road.
We’re up against major opposition from big fossil fuel companies and their lobbyists. The EPA is accepting public input until August 8, and we need to show the administration that the public is in favor of taking action.
Tell the EPA: Enact the strongest possible rules to fight climate change and clean up polluting power plants.
We must require America's biggest polluters to clean up their act, instead of continuing to harm our climate and our health, and we shouldn't allow new power plants to make these problems worse.
