Electricity providers recently spoke out against the Biden administration’s attack on the fossil fuel industry, specifically power plants, warning that the speed at which officials are pursuing a “green energy transition” risks significant energy shortage.
In May, Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a rule that would require coal fired plants across the country to eliminate or ‘capture’ nearly all carbon emissions released by 2038, or be subject to mandatory closure.
Lawmakers and energy advocates alike have condemned the proposal, saying it would not only wipe out countless blue collar jobs, it would be yet another blow to the economy.
