TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (NSF) - Florida utility regulators and other industry officials are objecting to a federal proposal aimed at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions from power plants.
Regulators argue the changes could drive up costs for consumers and hurt the reliability of the state’s electric system.
The Florida Public Service Commission on Tuesday approved sending a document to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency raising concerns that the proposed rule could result in unjust and unreasonable carbon emissions performance standards that would risk the safety, reliability and affordability of electric service in Florida.
The EPA released the wide-ranging proposal in May, saying it would dramatically reduce carbon emissions over the next two decades while helping protect public health. During Tuesday’s Public Service Commission meeting, however, Commissioner Gary Clark expressed concern about overreach by the federal agency.
“Anything we do to stand up and take a stand for Floridians, and looking at our future and taking into account the people that live here and the people that we serve, I think is of the most importance,” Clark said.
The proposal, in part, would set new pollution standards for power plants fueled by natural gas and coal, while taking steps to shift toward cleaner technology such as a type of fuel known as green hydrogen. Florida receives relatively little electricity generated by coal, but it relies heavily on natural gas.

I think we ought to sue to reduce gasoline distribution in metro DC.
“Consistent with EPA’s traditional approach to establishing pollution standards for power plants under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, the proposed standards are based on technologies such as
carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS)
low-GHG hydrogen co-firing”
“On June 12, 2023, EPA extended the comment period on the proposal to August 8, 2023.”
“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”
“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”
Then vote for Ramaswamy. He is the only candidate who has actually talked about this.
I now live where I don’t need to vote.
I live 8 minutes from where POTUS lives...
Yeah, your vote will not budge any electoral votes.

No thanks. He was pro vaccines. Not someone I'd trust to make important decisions.
Ok, ok I have it! We turn the carbon into graphite and make pencils for little kids! 🤣
And ensure a Democrat victory.
Oh.........and Florida must send 10% of all the energy created to Delaware.
