Clean Power Plan

Posted on Clean Air by Stanley Fritz · April 21, 2015 4:36 PM

 WE_ACT_LOGO.jpgBy signing on to this petition you can take a stand with us and demand that the EPA do the following:

 

  • The plan must, at minimum, mandate absolute emissions reductions of greenhouse gases and co-pollutants from facilities (both coal-fired, existing and new natural gas plans) located in and near EJ neighborhoods. Cap and Trade or other carbon trading mechanisms should not be an option for achieving emissions reductions.
  • The plan should mandate that states – as a part of their state implementation plans - achieve absolute reductions of greenhouse gas and co-pollutant emissions from facilities (both coal-fired, existing and new natural gas plants) located in and near in EJ communities.
  • The plan should also mandate that states conduct EJ analyses that: 1) demonstrate the above mentioned emissions reductions in and near EJ communities; and 2) determine the distributive costs and benefits of proposed carbon emission reduction strategies to EJ communities.
  • The use of renewable energy and efforts for energy efficiency should be prioritized in EJ communities and state implementation plans must demonstrate this prioritization.

 It only takes a minute, let the EPA know that Environmental Justice for Low income communities should be a top priority! Thank you in advance for your support.
