However, make no mistake: Technological advancement did not create the production boom by itself. Here’s why the claims are wrong: UCS has pointed out that while gas burns cleaner than coal at a power plant, it is far from a “clean” fuel because it still results in significant toxic air pollution.

These air quality impacts are minimal compared with the major ozone reductions resulting from the 1998 SIP Call, which resulted in more than 80,000 megawatts of coal capacity being retrofitted with SCRs. The 2005 Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) provided smaller but significant air quality improvements following its implementation in 2010.

DTE’s goal is to reach “net-zero” emissions by 2050 while reducing its carbon emissions from 2005 levels 65 percent by 2028, 85 percent by 2035, and 90 percent by 2040. Join us in supporting a clean energy future and the goal of phasing out coal plants with solar, wind, energy efficiency and other clean energy technologies.

Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is a mature technology that is becoming a key component in our much needed global energy transition and the creation of a circular economy. This is a major advantage as the technology processes different kinds of valuable materials that are usually wasted. Biogas feedstocks are everywhere. A total of 6.5

Those who work on soil issues have long hoped for a new study, with well-known soil scientists calling for one as early as 2005, at the government’s annual Two Sessions meetings.

EPA , which basically found that greenhouse gases are an “air pollutant” as defined by the Clean Air Act and that the EPA had to officially decide whether GHG constituted an endangerment to public health. Since 2005, the power sector has reduced carbon emissions by 36 percent, according to the EPA.

The challenge originates with the Obama Administration’s 2015 Clean Power Plan , which required states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants by 32 percent (below 2005 levels) by 2030, in line with the national commitment under the Paris Agreement. The court then paused the litigation while EPA revisited the issue.

The Trump EPA had invoked the major questions doctrine and the Agency’s past interpretation of technology-based standards under section 111 of the Clean Air to find that EPA could not rely upon switching methods of power generation to establish an emissions reduction budget under a cap-and-trade program.

None of that means climate change isn’t, and won’t continue to be, a factor in global health, particularly if action to prevent it also reduces air pollution, or removes other health stressors. Carbon emissions are thus following the same trajectory as other air pollutants.

Horizontal drilling with high intensity hydraulic fracturing was a new technology and a new method for [natural] gas extraction in many ways, but at the same time, it wasn't altogether new. So we wanted to look at what happened, and what went so wrong. Health exposures can also occur from spills or leaks.
