In April 2024, the EPA issued new carbon pollution limits on existing coal-fired power plants and new gas-fired power plants to slash climate pollution, reduce energy costs, and boost grid reliability:

- Pollution reductions from these standards are projected to eliminate the pollution equivalent of 328 million gasoline cars on the road.

- EPA projects up to $370 billion in benefits through 2047 from these standards - including lower levels of dangerous pollution like mercury and arsenic, avoided hospital visits and premature deaths, and prevented missed school days and workdays.

- These standards reduce pollution while ensuring affordable, reliable energy.

But this progress is under attack.

Big polluters and their lobbyists want to keep us stuck on fossil fuels, making our electricity grid unreliable. The existing fossil-fuel-reliant energy system is lucrative for them — even if it harms our health and environment. They profit, while families and small businesses suffer power outages, volatile price spikes, and adverse health impacts from air pollution.

Americans need you, our leaders in Congress, to stand up to attacks by big polluters and their allies. We can slash carbon pollution from power plants and benefit from a clean, reliable grid. We need you to:

Defend the EPA's carbon pollution standards for power plants.

Support a transmission reform plan that will connect more reliable, clean energy to the grid.

Protect public health by supporting a diverse mix of solar, wind, storage, and other clean energy sources.

Together, we can protect our health, climate, and environment and meet our growing electricity demands.
