Biden's Bold Environmental Agenda: Eliminating Emissions and Prioritizing Justice.

The Biden administration is set to unveil a proposal that would require power plants to nearly eliminate their greenhouse-gas emissions by 2040, with limits on the amount of emissions each plant can emit. Fossil-fuel-burning plants would likely need to use carbon-capture technology or switch to hydrogen to meet the limits. The electric-power sector remains the country’s second-largest contributor to climate change, responsible for a quarter of such emissions nationwide in 2021, according to EPA data. The proposal is still under final analysis at the White House and could change before the EPA announces it.
