Passage: The final version of the plan aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from electrical power generation by 32 percent by 2030, relative to 2005 levels.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The EPA estimates the Clean Power Plan will reduce the pollutants that contribute to smog and soot by 25 percent, and the reduction will lead to net climate and health benefits of an estimated $25 billion to $45 billion per year in 2030.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: EPA projects that the plan will save the average American family $85 per year in energy bills in 2030, and it will save enough energy to power 30 million homes and save consumers $155 billion from 2020–2030.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The plan would create 30 percent more renewable energy generation in 2030 and help to lower the costs of renewable energy.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The Obama administration designed the plan to lower the carbon dioxide emitted by power generators.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: In 2014, President Barack Obama proposed a series of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, known as the Clean Power Plan that would reduce carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The Clean Power Plan was an Obama administration policy aimed at combating anthropogenic climate change (global warming) that was first proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in June 2014.

Passage: In June 2015, the Obama administration released the President's 21st Century Clean Transportation Plan with the goal of reducing carbon pollution by converting the nation's century old infrastructure into one based on clean energy.This plan intended to battle climate change by reducing emissions through a switch to more sustainable forms of transportation, resulting from a potential increase of innovation in both public transit and electric vehicle production in the United States.The President stated that the revitalization of the infrastructure would not only create jobs, but also allow for quicker deliveries of goods, and allow for a greater variety of transportation options that would facilitate travel for Americans.The President's multibillion dollar proposal provided incentives to reduce reliance on international oil and fossil fuels.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Coal is an impure fuel and produces more greenhouse gas and pollution than an equivalent amount of petroleum or natural gas.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: According to Energy Innovation’s Energy Policy Simulator, a repeal of the Clean Power Plan would lead to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions of more than 500 million metric tons by 2030, and by 2050, that figure would rise to more than 1,200 million metric tons.

Passage: At the end of 2008, James Hansen stated five priorities that he felt then President-elect Barack Obama should adopt "for solving the climate and energy problems, while stimulating the economy": efficient energy use, renewable energy, a smart grid, generation IV nuclear reactors and carbon capture and storage.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: In 2015, Obama also announced the Clean Power Plan, which is the final version of regulations originally proposed by the EPA the previous year, and which pertains to carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: On September 30, 2009, the Obama administration proposed new regulations on power plants, factories, and oil refineries in an attempt to limit greenhouse gas emissions and to curb global warming.
