By endorsing the plan, the broader San Antonio community <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/texascleanairmatters\/2016\/04\/18\/american-cities-are-defending-the-clean-power-plan-in-court-even-against-their-own-state-politicians\/\">joins<\/a> Texas\u2019 largest cities Houston and Dallas, whose mayors are also supporting the sensible, cost-effective clean air measure. (In fact, Houston and Dallas filed an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/sites\/default\/files\/content\/2016.04.01_cities_amicus_brief_for_epa.pdf\">amicus brief<\/a> together with a large <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/2016\/04\/14\/american-cities-are-defending-the-clean-power-plan-in-court-even-against-their-own-state-politicians\/?_ga=1.119251520.852916913.1458489268\">coalition of cities<\/a> to support the Clean Power Plan in court).<\/p>\n<p>All of this comes in the face of staunch opposition from Texas state leaders, who have used taxpayers\u2019 money to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/lawsuit-aims-to-overturn-obama-s-clean-power-plan\/\">sue<\/a> the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over these safeguards. Meanwhile, Bexar County Judge Nelson W. Wolff and commissioners passed the resolution unanimously, meaning members from both sides of the aisle put politics aside and voted for healthier air for our communities and families.<span id=\"more-4802\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In addition to serving as a testament to bipartisan leadership on reducing climate-altering carbon emissions, Bexar County\u2019s support for the Clean Power Plan is a reflection of San Antonio\u2019s clean energy leadership and could help the city meet our nation\u2019s health-based ground-level ozone (more commonly known as smog) standard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>San Antonio climbing clean energy ranks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since the Clean Power Plan will encourage investment in cleaner energy sources, it should come as no surprise that San Antonio\u2019s Bexar County backs the effort \u2013 the city is already a leader in that area. San Antonio was recently ranked 7<sup>th<\/sup> in terms of solar energy capacity in the <a href=\"http:\/\/media.bizj.us\/view\/img\/9190002\/shining-cities-report.pdf\">Shining Cities Report<\/a> \u2013 the only Texas city to make the top 10. And that ranking didn\u2019t even include the solar power that CPS Energy, San Antonio\u2019s municipal utility that serves Bexar County, draws from outside city limits.<\/p>\n<p>CPS has also taken a progressive approach to advancing the low-carbon energy future through its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpsenergy.com\/en\/about-us\/who-we-are\/new-energy-economy.html\">New Energy Economy initiative<\/a>. Launched nearly five years ago, the program aims to increase the use of clean energy resources while investing in the economy of San Antonio. In order to focus on lower-carbon sources, the shift resulted in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicpower.org\/Media\/daily\/ArticleDetail.cfm?ItemNumber=32264\">decision<\/a> to shut down a large coal-fired power plant by 2018, about 15 years earlier than expected. Additionally, the New Energy Economy plan encouraged clean energy and innovative technology companies to relocate to the city. As a result, partners like OCI Solar Power, Silver Spring Networks, and Landis+Gyr have landed in the Alamo City, creating<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>more than 840 jobs and $947 million in annual economic impact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clean Power Plan will have clean air rewards for the children of Bexar County<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>San Antonio\u2019s air quality has been at a tipping point for many years, with smog levels just narrowly hovering beneath national health-based standards. The standards, anchored in extensive medical studies, establish the acceptable smog concentrations to ensure healthy air quality, but recent air monitoring data <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacurrent.com\/Blogs\/archives\/2016\/04\/12\/aacog-san-antonios-ozone-violations-will-inevitably-trigger-penalties\">show<\/a> San Antonio is poised to be designated in \u201cnonattainment\u201d by October 2017. In other words, on many days the air pollution levels are unhealthy and the city and surrounding areas will most likely not meet the standards.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, CPS Energy\u2019s New Energy Economy efforts, in addition to reducing harmful carbon pollution, will contribute to San Antonio\u2019s efforts to meet the health-based smog standard. That\u2019s because coal-fired power plants generate substantial amounts of pollutants that lead to the creation of smog. Therefore, replacing power generated by coal plants with power from cleaner sources will lower carbon emissions <em>and<\/em> smog contributors. And that is very good news for Bexar County\u2019s children, the elderly, and individuals with lung and heart diseases \u2013 populations facing serious health threats from unhealthy air.<\/p>\n<p>With both the County Judge and city utility supporting the Clean Power Plan, San Antonio should be on a path to cleaner air. However, many ozone-causing pollutants are drifting from surrounding areas in the state. In fact, recent air quality <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aacog.com\/DocumentCenter\/View\/34698\">modeling<\/a> shows that on some bad air quality days, more than 60 percent of the smog can be attributed to outside sources \u2013 including emissions from nearby oil and gas development in the Eagle Ford shale.\u00a0To address the region\u2019s air quality challenges, perhaps the county commissioners\u2019 bipartisan leadership on clean energy can be an effective voice in urging state leaders to put in place polices that would incentivize surrounding areas to reduce their contribution. It will take many different strategies to reduce smog levels in Bexar County and a truly regional approach will be needed.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense for Texas to embrace the Clean Power Plan: The plan will maximize our state\u2019s plentiful clean energy resources, leading to public health benefits and water savings. City Council member Ray Lopez put it best when he <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/sanantonio\/news\/2016\/04\/07\/san-antonio-poised-to-climb-even-higher-as-solar.html\">said<\/a>, \u201cWe know here in San Antonio that clean power means clean air, a healthy planet, and a strong economy.\u201d While our state decision-makers use our hard-earned taxpayer dollars to obstruct clean air safeguards, our cities are leading the way in protecting our communities and families from unhealthy air pollution and forging a strong clean energy economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: John Hall, Texas state director, clean energy,\u00a0and Colin Leyden, senior manager, state regulatory &amp; legislative affairs \u2013 natural gas.
