Pro-Polluter Power Plan Will Make Things Worse

Unfortunately, this may only be the start. Scientists say that we need to change course on energy, or also risk triggering “hothouse” phenomenons that would make climate change much more severe.⁷

Instead, the Trump administration has proposed delaying the transition to cleaner energy sources and stalling the requirement of pollution control technologies that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.⁸

The Obama-era Clean Power Plan would have reduced carbon emissions by nearly a third before 2030. The Trump administration’s replacement plan would require only a one to two percent reduction over an even longer time period.⁹
