Greenhouse gases and solar solutions

Debates about climate change are becoming less and less frequent due to the overwhelming agreement among climate scientists on the matter of global warming. The public comment period has ended on EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s reckless attempt to repeal the Clean Power Plan, and thousands of Americans — including mayors, CEOs, energy experts, and citizens concerned about the threats Pruitt’s actions pose to our children’s health and future — have already spoken out in strong opposition to the misguided repeal effort.

Clean Power Plan could prevent 4500 premature deaths

There are still those who question whether man is the main cause of the earth’s worsening pollution. However, the science has been clear from the start.  The Clean Power Plan would prevent 4,500 early deaths and 90,000 childhood asthma attacks each year. It would cut carbon pollution by 32 percent from 2005 levels and would reduce other harmful air pollutants from power plants. By cutting air pollution and helping mitigate the threats of climate change, the Clean Power Plan would secure big benefits to public health while increasing the clean energy economy. Yet, as Pruitt continued his ignorant effort to turn back the clock on lifesaving climate protections, momentum is growing in states to slash carbon pollution and usher in a clean energy future.

Carbon-intensive sources of energy are being gradually replaced

Governments and corporations are moving away from carbon-intensive sources of electricity generation, and are increasing their use of cleaner technologies. Some of these technologies deploy the same cost-effective strategies to cut carbon pollution that EPA relied upon when establishing emission targets under the Clean Power Plan. Pruitt’s attempt to repeal the Clean Power Plan is putting this flexible approach and low-cost emission reductions under attack.
Federal actions to reduce carbon pollution, such as the Clean Power Plan, remain essential to mitigate climate change.

The clean energy transformation is accelerating

Clean energy is on the march. Carbon pollution from the power sector fell to 27 percent below 2005 levels in 2017, continuing a downward trend since the mid-2000’s even as the U.S. economy continues to grow. Carbon pollution levels from the power sector in the U.S. have now fallen below emissions from transportation, demonstrating remarkable progress in cleaning up our electric grid.
