Background: As part of President Obama's 2013 Climate Action
Plan, U.S. EPA proposed on June 2, 2014 the Clean Power Plan
(proposed rule), also known as 111(d), to reduce carbon dioxide
emissions from existing fossil fueled power plants. The proposed
rule can be found at:
http://www2.epa.gov/carbon-pollution-standards/clean-power-plan-proposed-rule
Using four general measures called "building blocks", the
proposed rule looks beyond traditional source-specific measures,
and seeks to reduce carbon emissions from the power sector as a
whole through mechanisms such as improved energy efficiency, both
on the generation and demand sides, and encourages the
development of renewable energy resources.
California is in a drought emergency.
