1.3 million and counting for the carbon rule

05/24/2012 // 2:48 pm // 9 Comments // , Solutions Associate

In March, the United States proposed the first-ever national limit on carbon pollution. This is a big deal. The proposal would address the largest source of carbon pollution in the United States: power plants.

Today, in Washington D.C. and Chicago, dozens of people just like you and me are standing up in front of the Environmental Protection Agency to voice their support for this rule. But they’re not alone. Supporters across the country are speaking out in favor of limiting carbon pollution from future power plants. In just a few short weeks, more than 1.3 million comments in favor of the rule have been submitted to the EPA – the most comments ever for an EPA rule.

Want to add your voice to the millions demanding solutions to the climate crisis? Please sign our petition now. It only takes one click to support the EPA’s historic proposal.

    I signed the petiton, and I hope you will too. Coal fired power plants are a leading cause of Global Warming and there needs to be more clean energy.

    I don’t see what is so great about improved carbon standards. There really is no such thing as clean or cleaner coal. Why are we happy about crumbs? It is time to move wholesale to renewable energy – geothermal, solar and wind. Stop the $10 – $50 billions in subsidies to dirty oil and use this $ to give tax incentives for fossil to convert. Let’s stop this deplorabe, very healthy status quo now.

    We have to keep Obama in, because his is the only one that will do anything about global warming, and if you live in the South You have got to know that it is Real. It is about 100 degrees today and this is May. Usually in May it is about 80 degrees. Katherine

    They are willing to destroy our precious Earth just to make a buck. They have the right to sell their souls. But we can’t let them ruin our planet.
