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.

One just being closed was supposed to be nuclear but the “environmentalists” att thee time made them convert to coal. What ever screws us and brings them donations is the flavor of the month
Are you talking about the Moscow, Ohio plant? It was 90% complete as nuclear before being forced to be converted to coal in the early 80s. It closed in August and is 20 miles as the crow flies from my house.
The USSC said last summer that the EPA doesn't have the power to regulate carbon emissions.
Methane is worse than CO2? Methane makes up 17/100,000 of 1% of the atmosphere. CO2 is the real killer. It’s 4/100 of 1%. The climate scaremongers never discuss the statistics. What if all cows were slaughtered, what percentage of the atmosphere would methane become? (Crickets)
That is true-big mistake by Nixon for sure...
The DNC-Media-Tech, in 2020.
They don’t believe in science... their god is Gaia and emotion.
Obama promised to make coal fired production of electricity too expensive for the plants to operate.
He is carrying out his promise.
Biden is just the sock puppet to take the blame.
I thought the Supreme Court already reined-in the EPA’s out of control power trip?
You got it
Stop obeying illegal unconstitutional mandates?

YES!
Exactly. EVs will be piled up on the road sides.
“They won’t stop pushing tyranny until all CO2 is eliminated from the atmosphere.”
Then the trees will die
Liberals never have understood consequences
Hell, he doesn’t know what he is signing. He is just a puppet for the Marxists that are destroying the country.
Isn’t that the point of this nonsense? A society that cannot afford to transit everywhere is a society easy to control.《》《》《》
Yup, that’s the plan.
CONTROL❗️❗️❗️
This needs to go back to the legislative branch, not career government employees in some regulatory agency.
That would not include the Legislative branch as they have clearly with a few exceptions, become the regulatory agency for career government employees. Thus they are the problem.
