EPA's new Proposal Forces Coal plants to Comply or ShutDown

Top news right now: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed new regulations that could effectively shut down coal-fired power plants by 2040. Large natural gas facilities will also face steep emissions reduction targets or conversion to hydrogen-burning by 2038, with smaller natural gas-fired plants required to burn more efficient forms of natural gas.

Critics, including coal trade organizations, warn of electricity shortages and a loss of energy independence. Dive deeper into this story, tap the link in our bio.
