Statement on the Formal Publication of the Clean Power Plan by Ceres President, Mindy S. Lubber

Oct 23, 2015 - Today marks a significant step forward in our goal to reduce carbon pollution in our atmosphere and accelerate a healthy and clean energy future.

The Clean Power Plan will drive tremendous economic value for businesses in all 50 states offering opportunities to expand clean energy solutions, attract new industries and create new jobs.  That’s why 365 companies and investors expressed their unprecedented support for the Plan in letters to their national representatives and state governors.  These businesses understand the very real risks of climate change not only to our future growth and prosperity, but to our collective health.  They also see the tremendous opportunity and economic benefits of energy efficiency and renewable energy.

While some will no doubt continue in their quest to undermine the Plan, the momentum, the economics – and the law – are not in their favor.

Together with our member companies and investors, Ceres looks forward to working with the President, with Members of Congress and with state lawmakers to allow the Clean Power Plan to drive a robust, clean energy economy.
