Biden's EPA takes bold action to reduce power plant emissions and tackle climate change.

Experts are concerned about the reliability of the US power grid following the Biden administration's release of a plan to curb fossil fuel-fired power plant emissions. The plan would force electric power providers to reduce pollution by about 90% over the next two decades, either by adopting costly carbon capture technology or shutting down. Critics argue that the administration's push for renewable energy sources like wind and solar farms, which produce just 14% of US electricity and are intermittent, could lead to energy scarcity and threaten grid reliability. Power industry groups warn that the EPA's proposal is too ambitious and could raise energy prices to unsustainable levels, while experts cast doubt on the viability of carbon capture technology.
