EPA Hearings on Carbon Pollution Standard Held in DC, Chicago
Thursday, May 24, 2012
Today, the U.S. EPA held two public hearings on a proposed standard that would — for the first time — set national limits on greenhouse gas pollution from new power plants. The Chicago and D.C. hearings drew large crowds of concerned citizens, public health experts, attorneys, environmentalists and others who testified in support of the proposed “carbon standard.” Here are some interesting resources from today’s events:
