Carbon Pollution Curbs Will Boost Jobs and Save on Electric Bills - NRDC

A pickup truck drives down a road of the Homer City Generating Station in Homer City, Pa. on May 5. Three years ago, the operators of one of the nation’s dirtiest coal-fired power plants warned of “immediate and devastating” consequences from the Obama administration’s push to clean up pollution from coal. Faced with cutting sulfur dioxide pollution blowing into downwind states by 80 percent in less than a year, lawyers for EME Homer City Generation L.P. sued the Environmental Protection Agency to block the rule, saying it would cause a painful spike in electricity bills and grave harm to power producers like itself.

Hundreds of thousands of jobs will be created and Americans will save billions of dollars on their electric bills when the U.S. adopts a smart plan to reduce carbon pollution from the power plants, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.
