EPA to regulate emissions, pollutions coming from power plants for 1st time

The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing a draft rule to limit carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fired power plants in a bid to reduce emissions from the power sector, which makes up a quarter of US emissions. The proposal is expected to cut 617 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air between 2028 and 2042, equivalent to reducing emissions from 137 million passenger cars, and prevent 1,300 premature deaths in 2030.
