Overview
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is in the midst of a critical Clean Air Act rule-making cycle that will substantially reduce global warming and other pollutants. Requirements for more fuel-efficient cars and less mercury from power plant smokestacks were adopted in 2011. The first-ever rule to limit global warming emissions from power plants is scheduled to be adopted in 2012. Because the rules are driving the shift away from coal and toward a clean energy economy in the United States, it’s critical that health, environmental, and other advocates rally to defend these rules from the intense attack they are under from the industries affected by the rules. This proposed grant would fund a coalition of national and state groups to conduct strategic and coordinated communications and organize activities to defend the existing rules and create a policy environment in which the EPA is able to continue promulgating new rules. The coalition aims to collect a record-breaking two million comments in support of the new global warming rule for power plants.
