Overview
This grant would help build the organization’s capacity to determine how state and national agencies regulate pollution associated with coal-fired power generation. Unlike our other grantees, the Project looks at the entire suite of regulations that impact coal, not just the Clean Air Act. This includes water used for cooling processes, solid waste generated from coal ash, and waste water. The Project often provides the technical and legal underpinning of the work used by advocacy groups like the Sierra Club and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. It will be a key player in defending EPA’s Clean Air Act authority, implementing and expanding the new source CO2 rule, and developing rules to regulate carbon from existing plants. It will also play a key role in some regional venues to close coal plants as part of the Beyond Coal Campaign.
