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 chief tells Grist what coal will have to do to survive in a carbon-constrained future

Grist: Its been a long time coming, but, finally, the EPA is going to begin tackling carbon pollution from the worlds single greatest contributor to climate change the U.S. power sector. Under draft rules being announced this morning, new coal power plants will have to be a whole lot cleaner than the ones weve got today. In fact, thanks also to market conditions, new coal plants might not get built at all. Perhaps most important, the draft rules lay the foundation for a bigger move to cut emissions...

U.S. industry sees carbon-capture as legal chink in EPA rules
2013-09-20 12:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Faced with the Obama administration's new crackdown on power plant emissions, the coal and electric utility industry is honing a legal strategy it believes could derail the measures. New rules governing the construction of fossil fuel power plants, unveiled by the Environmental Protection Agency on Friday, have closed one of the largest legal loopholes of the initial regulations put forward in 2012, by providing separate standards for gas- and coal-fired plants. Now, opponents have another...
