New power plant regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) threaten the future of affordable, reliable energy for businesses and families.
Electric cooperatives are driving innovation in low- and zero-emission energy technologies. However, this proposal would require the use of carbon capture and hydrogen technologies that are promising but not yet commercially viable. These regulations would create a significant financial burden for your cooperative.
They would also force the early closure of always available power plants while also making it harder to permit, site, and build critical new power plants.
This proposal will further strain America’s electric grid and undermine decades of work to keep the lights on. The EPA must recognize the disruptive impact these requirements will have on the future of reliable energy before it’s too late.
Act today and tell the EPA that keeping the lights on is essential. Join your cooperative in urging the EPA to reconsider these regulations and prioritize policies that ensure a reliable and affordable energy supply for the future.
