Tell EPA: Go Further, Faster!

Only two out of ten of EPA’s critical climate and clean air standards are on track. That’s unacceptable.

We’re sending a petition directly to EPA Administrator Michael Regan to tell him EPA must go further, faster. Sign on now to demand the urgent climate action we need!

Pollution from the power sector is driving climate disasters that are upending the lives of people across the U.S. Toxic air and water pollution from these same facilities continues to sicken our families, especially in low-income, Black, Indigenous, and Brown communities. Meanwhile, far too many critical EPA standards have been delayed or stalled, and we have just two years until the end of President Biden’s first term. Americans can’t wait. I am calling on Administrator Regan and EPA to move further and faster.

EPA must:

  • Propose carbon standards for new gas-fired power plants by December 2022, and finalize the rule by December 2023

  • Propose carbon standards for existing coal- and gas-fired power plants by December 2022, and finalize the rule by December 2023

  • Propose the risk and technology review for Mercury and Air Toxics Standards by October 2022

  • Propose a National Smog Standard by November 2022

  • Immediately make progress on and announce a timeline for strengthening the Regional Haze Rule

  • Immediately make progress on and announce a timeline for closing loopholes in the Coal Ash Rule, including loopholes for legacy landfills

  • Announce a final rule for closing Title V startup, shutdown, and malfunction loopholes as soon as possible

  • Utilize all tools and resources to stringently enforce the current National Ambient Air Quality Standards for sulfur dioxide
