The Biden administration announced an aggressive plan to curb power plant emissions Thursday, but acknowledged the regulations could lead to slightly higher prices.
EPA's regulations are projected to have "climate and health benefits" worth $85 billion and reduce ther amount of air pollutants and soot in the air. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"By proposing new standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants, EPA is delivering on its mission to reduce harmful pollution that threatens people’s health and wellbeing," EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement. "EPA’s proposal relies on proven, readily available technologies to limit carbon pollution and seizes the momentum already underway in the power sector to move toward a cleaner future."
