Overview
The EPA 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 new power plants was introduced in 2012 and new rules to regulate CO2 in existing power plants are expected in 2013. Because the rules are driving a 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 grant would fund a coalition of national and state groups to conduct strategic, coordinated communications and organize activities to defend existing rules and create a policy environment in which the EPA can continue creating new rules.
