Block the EPA's Repeal of Carbon Pollution Standards for Power Plants

To: Sen. King, Rep. Pingree, Sen. Collins

From: A verified voter in South Portland, ME

September 15

The EPA is about to finalize the repeal of carbon pollution standards for coal- and gas-fired power plants, and I need you to fight it. Lee Zeldin's announcement would gut rules that were on track to cut 1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2047. The electricity sector already accounts for nearly a quarter of all US greenhouse gas pollution. Stripping these standards doesn't just set back climate progress — it locks in damage that future administrations will struggle to undo. This rollback is happening while wildfires are burning, floods are devastating communities, and families are watching electricity bills and insurance premiums climb. Handing the fossil fuel industry a license to keep polluting at this moment is a betrayal of every American who breathes the air and pays those bills. Please use every tool available to you — legislative, legal, and public — to block this repeal and defend the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
