Subject: New Post on NextGen America's Blog - "The Best-Kept Secret About the Clean Power Plan: It¹s Not Actually That Complicated"

Hi All,

I've just posted a new entry on NextGen Climate America's blog on the Clean Power Plan. This post is focused on how, despite the complexity involved for EPA in coming up with state targets and for utilities in deciding how to make pollution cuts, the Clean Power Plan actually provides air regulators with the option to choose a straightforward task. (Or at least one no more complex than implementing other air rules.)

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.

All the best,
Dave

From the moment EPA announced its groundbreaking proposal to limit harmful carbon pollution from power plants, virtually all discussion of the Clean Power Plan has taken as a premise that implementing the rule will be extremely complicated. But the actual regulation proposed in the Clean Power Plan is no more complex than state administrators want it to be.
Of course, if states do not wish to write their own regulations, EPA will do it for them by implementing a federal plan. But everywhere else, states are in the driver's seat, and States have the power to implement this law through very straightforward and familiar regulatory methods. Read More. . .
