New US climate rules for pollution cuts ‘probably terminal’ for coal-fired plants | Experts say only ‘handful of plants’ will likely survive, and only Trump and lawsuits could save them
New US climate rules for pollution cuts ‘probably terminal’ for coal-fired plants
Good? If they can't adapt to these externalities, which will only increase, then more efficient plants / companies should take their places
Good.
Call me cynical but I'll be shocked if this isn't either quietly repealed or overturned in the courts before it does any good. The even more cynical side of me says that is the intent and its only purpose is to pacify people by making them think something is being done when they know it won't actually go into effect.
The US has already demolished the bulk of its coal-burning power plants because they've become one of the more expensive ways to generate electricity.
My biggest issue is that all of these policies have huge timescales for the crisis at hand. 90% reduction of emissions..! ^By ^2036.
One of the source of problem is in danger? Oh no.
But biden has done nothing but make things worse !!1!1!!
Skimmed the title...
