The Biden administration is reportedly finalizing a proposal that would force fossil fuel-fired power plants to substantially curb emissions or utilize costly carbon capture technology.
The proposal — which will soon be released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — is expected to require coal- and natural gas-fired power plants to cut or capture the vast majority of their carbon dioxide emissions by 2040, The New York Times reported on Saturday, citing officials briefed on a draft of the plan. The regulation, if finalized, would represent the first-ever federal action curbing power plant emissions.
"EPA cannot comment because the proposals are currently under interagency review," EPA spokesperson Maria Michalos told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"But we have been clear from the start that we will use all of our legally-upheld tools, grounded in decades-old bipartisan laws, to address dangerous air pollution and protect the air our children breathe today and for generations to come," Michalos said.

Is that smog? That stuff is nasty-we drove to visit and go to a friend’s wedding in LA in the early 70’s, and that is what the skyline looked like from the the highway a few miles out-it smelled bad, too-never cared to go back...
Yes. That is real pollution. There is an opportunity for real environmentalism to emerge made of people that like CO2 and just want to breathe clean air and drink clean water.
Jimmy Carter was the 1st one to really give the environazis the thumbs-up to take us back to the time of living in a hut and freezing in the dark-every rat in the WH has taken great delight in making it worse, too...
Our air is already cleaner than that of most other countries. And if by “cleaner” they mean less carbon dioxide, they should take a science course.
Guess what? Then all plants die, followed by all animals (including us). These people are terminally stupid.
I’m into conservation of natural resources-so I agree-conserving resources does not mean drinking the global warming koolaide-just respect the natural world...
Bidem admin? Always nebulous, some unelected body who should not have the reins of something that they have no business.
Too bad their precious plants “breathe” CO2.
Idiots don’t seem to see the “cycle of life”. Animals breathe oxygen, put out CO2, plants breathe that in, and then they put out oxygen.
That is so perfect.
They also want to shut down all nuclear power plants by 2030. God help us all. Congress needs to shut down the government until they let off of this nonsense.
He (and his puppeteers) really do want to end this nation. No other explanation suffices.
They on the other hand will be nice and toasty warm in their nice warm luxury homes thanks to coal fired power plants generatin all the electricity they want.
Why do they care about children when they kill them before they are born?
Guess what? Then all plants die, followed by all animals (including us). These people are terminally stupid.
Exactly! The democrat party, the party of “If it ain’t broke, fix it til it IS”
FUJB
And once again without an act of congress. Without representation. If the USSC was worth a fart then they would put and end to all this unconstitutional garbage.
Yeah, but without the existence of the EPA he probably wouldn’t have had a vehicle to do that.
Must be all those dirty CO2 emitting coal, natural gas, hydro-power generating & nuclear plants in America doing that...
