CRS Comment on EPA Proposed Rulemaking – Repeal of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units

CRS strongly opposes the EPA’s plan to repeal greenhouse gas (GHG) standards for power plants, arguing it harms public health, worsens climate change, and undermines clean energy progress. CRS highlights EPA data showing the rules prevent thousands of health issues and save $120 billion in health costs. Repealing them would increase emissions, hurt renewable energy jobs, and ignore scientific consensus. CRS urges the EPA to keep the standards to protect communities and the economy.
