Biden's EPA to Implement Carbon-Capture Rules for Power Plants to Reduce Emissions.

The Biden administration is expected to propose a new rule that would require power companies to capture most of their carbon emissions, using carbon-capturing technology, rather than letting it enter the atmosphere. No commercial power plants in the United States use carbon-capturing technology now, but the agency views it as ready to be used widely. The proposal would be the most stringent regulations on fossil fuel plants in the nation’s history. The EPA is expected to release the two power plant rules near the end of the week, targeting existing coal- and natural-gas-fired plants, and new gas plants.
