NRECA Sues EPA over New Power Plant Rule
On Thursday, NRECA filed suit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit against the EPA over its newly released power plant rule that requires sweeping reductions in carbon emissions from existing coal-fired power plants and new natural gas plants. NRECA asserts the new rule is unlawful and unreasonable, posing an immediate threat to the American electric grid and forcing a shift in electricity generation to the agency’s preferred generation sources.
