Comments on Proposed Rule: Review of Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New, Modified, and Reconstructed Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units, 83 Fed. Reg. 65,424 (Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–0495)
March 18, 2019, the Emmett Clinic submitted comments in opposition to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposal to roll back greenhouse gas emissions standards for new power plants by eliminating the requirement that new coal plants use CCS. The Clinic’s comments explain that CCS is both technically and economically feasible for new coal-fired plants, and that the CCS mandate should be expanded to cover a greater percentage of emissions and to include new natural gas plants.
