Science: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today proposed limits on carbon pollution from new fossil fuel power plants. The move, if successful, would be the first major step by the U.S. government to limit greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector. For the first time, plants would be required to capture some of the carbon dioxide gas produced by burning fossil fuels in addition to finding ways to produce less of the gas in the first place. The regulations, which are a key element of President...

Mercury News: Linking global warming to public health, disease and extreme weather, the Obama administration pressed ahead Friday with tough requirements to limit carbon pollution from new power plants, despite protests from industry and from Republicans that it would mean a dim future for coal. The proposal, which sets the first national limits on heat-trapping pollution from future power plants, would help reshape where Americans get electricity, moving from a coal-dependent past into a future fired by cleaner...

Bloomberg: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys proposed limits on power-plant emissions blamed for climate change is a broad new battleground for an agency that has spent four decades focused on the local impact of pollutants such as lead, mercury and ozone. The draft regulations, issued yesterday, would impose the first cap on carbon emissions from new power plants, dealing a blow to the market for coal. While restrictions on emissions of sulfur dioxide and other pollutants have been in place for...

Feds Propose First-Ever Rules To Cut Power Plant Emissions
2013-09-20 19:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Friday proposed rules that aim to reduce carbon emissions from new coal and natural gas power plants. The proposal replaced the one the EPA issued in April last year that set a single limit for both types of power plants. After sifting through public comments and hearing from the power industry, the agency revised the proposal to include separate limits for coal and natural gas power plants. Power plants today account for about one-third of greenhouse...
