U.S. power plant owners warned the Biden administration on Tuesday that its sweeping plan to slash carbon emissions from the electricity sector is unworkable, relying too heavily on costly technologies that are not yet proven at scale.
Top utility trade group the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) asked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for revisions of the proposed power plant standards, which hinge on the widespread commercial availability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and low-emissions green hydrogen, adding the agency's vision was "not legally or technically sound."
"Electric companies are not confident that the new technologies EPA has designated to serve as the basis for proposed standards for new and existing fossil-based generation will satisfy performance and cost requirements on the timelines that EPA projects," EEI said in a public comment released on Tuesday on the agency's deadline for feedback.
Resistance from the EEI and other energy-related groups poses a potentially big challenge to the administration's climate agenda.

And the democrat demons will blame the power companies, like they already do, for expensive unreliable electricity and the idiots who believe a single word from a democrat will believe it.
Unworkable?
And Biden says, “And your point is?”
Forcing everyone one to use electric vehicles and appliance, then hamstringing the ability of produce electricity. Does anyone see a problem here?
Uh; I think he knows this already.
Electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket.
Promise from BHO, Joe’s Boss.
I have a buddy who oversees several power plants. He told me very times are ahead and as we speak energy producing plants around the country are being taken offline, with little or no way to supplement the loss. Unbelievable ,correct? Keep voting for the current losers in DC and locally and we will be in the Stone Age soon.
