The Environmental Protection Agency unveiled new standards on Monday, calling for a 30 percent cut in carbon emissions from power plants by 2030.
The regulations are the first of their kind for the fleet of existing power plants, which currently produce 39 percent of U.S. emissions. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy described the rules in further detail at a press conference Monday morning.
McCarthy emphasized the problems stemming from carbon pollution, which “supercharges risks not just to our health — but to our communities, our economy, and our way of life.”
