Environment News Service: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today proposed the country`s first Clean Air Act standards to cut carbon pollution from new power plants to combat climate change and improve public health. The newly proposed standards are meant to ensure that the power plants of the future use cleaner energy technologies, such as efficient natural gas, advanced coal technology, nuclear power, and renewable energy like wind and solar. Power plants are the largest concentrated source of emissions in...

New coal plants must limit carbon pollution under US EPA regulation
2013-09-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: New coal-burning plants will be required to limit the carbon dioxide they release under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys first regulations aimed at curbing climate change by power generators. The EPA issued the draft rules today, meeting a deadline President Barack Obama set out in an address on climate change in June. The rules effectively require coal-fired plants to capture and store a portion of the carbon dioxide they produce, something the industry says is so costly it would preclude...

EPA to limit greenhouse gases from new coal plants
2013-09-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: The Environmental Protection Agency's second stab at a proposal to set the first-ever limits on greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants would make it impossible for companies to build the kind of coal-fired plants that have been the country's biggest source of electricity for decades. Under the proposal, released Friday, any new plant that runs on coal would only be permitted to emit about half as much carbon dioxide as an average coal plant puts into the air today. EPA administrator...
