However, the Clean Power Plan is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2017\/03\/21\/climate\/how-americans-think-about-climate-change-in-six-maps.html?_r=0\">popular with Americans<\/a> across the country, and an extraordinarily broad and diverse group of leaders and experts from across America have <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/03\/Statements-on-the-Rollback-of-the-Clean-Power-Plan-20170330.CYJ_.pdf\">announced their support<\/a> for the Clean Power Plan since the executive order.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll likely be hearing a lot about this story in the near future. While you follow the news, here are 10 things you should know about the Clean Power Plan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>1. The Clean Power Plan is expected to save thousands of lives and protect the health of Americans across the country. <\/strong>According to EPA\u2019s analysis, when fully implemented the Clean Power Plan will:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Prevent up to 3,600 premature deaths each year<\/li>\n<li>Prevent up to 1,700 heart attacks each year<\/li>\n<li>Prevent up to 90,000 asthma attacks each year<\/li>\n<li>Prevent up to 300,000 missed work days and school days each year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>2. The Clean Power Plan\u2019s pollution reduction targets are eminently achievable. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Carbon pollution from the power sector has decreased by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.cfm?id=26232\">more than 20 percent<\/a> since 2005, meaning that we\u2019re already more than two-thirds of the way toward meeting the Clean Power Plan standards for 2030. In fact, most states that are litigating against the Clean Power Plan are <a href=\"http:\/\/fingfx.thomsonreuters.com\/gfx\/rngs\/USA-CLIMATECHANGE-LAWSUIT\/010021NQ436\/index.html\">on track to meet<\/a> these pollution limits. The Clean Power Plan is essential to ensure that this momentum is sustained and that power sector investments in clean energy are deployed in a way that maximizes their pollution reduction benefits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>3. The Clean Power Plan can reduce electricity bills for families. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The Clean Power Plan gives states and power companies tremendous flexibility in deciding how to meet the pollution reduction targets \u2013 including through cost-effective energy efficiency measures that save families money. Independent analyses of the Clean Power Plan have found that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjbradley.com\/sites\/default\/files\/MJBA_CPP_IPM_Report_III_2016-06-01_final_0.pdf\">average bills could decline<\/a> by as much as 11 percent as a result of these measures. That\u2019s why leading consumer and ratepayer advocates, including <a href=\"http:\/\/consumersunion.org\/news\/withdrawing-cpp-higher-consumer-costs\/\">Consumers Union<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/2016\/09\/22\/the-clean-power-plan-driving-down-electricity-bills-for-families\/\">support the Clean Power Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>4. Our vibrant clean energy sector employs millions of Americans and it is thriving. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">According to a recent assessment by <a href=\"http:\/\/info.aee.net\/hubfs\/PDF\/AEN%202017%20Market%20Report.pdf?t=1490632429905\">Advanced Energy Economy<\/a>, the United States clean energy sector is now a rapidly-growing, $200 billion industry that employs 3.3 million Americans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>5. Clean energy is creating economic opportunities in communities across the nation. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.awea.org\/MediaCenter\/pressrelease.aspx?ItemNumber=8736\">American Wind Energy Association<\/a>\u00a0estimates that 70 percent of wind farms are located in low-income counties, and that wind developers currently pay $222 million a year in lease payments to U.S. farmers, ranchers and other rural landowners. AWEA also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.achrnews.com\/articles\/134640-over-3-million-in-us-now-work-for-clean-energy\">estimates<\/a> that wind energy has created more than 25,000 manufacturing jobs in 43 states.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>6. The Administration\u2019s promises that revoking climate and clean air protections will bring back coal jobs are false, as the coal industry itself recognizes. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.analysisgroup.com\/uploadedfiles\/content\/insights\/publishing\/tierney%20-%20coal%20industry%20-%2021st%20century%20challenges%209-26-2016.pdf\">Independent analyses<\/a> have found that employment in the coal industry has been falling steadily since 1975, due largely to changing methods of coal production and \u2013 in more recent years \u2013 by competition from inexpensive natural gas. These trends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/politics\/articles\/2017-03-27\/trump-s-order-won-t-resurrect-jobs-of-miners-key-to-his-campaign\">cannot be reversed<\/a> by revoking the Clean Power Plan or other protections for clean air and clean water. Even coal company executives have acknowledged that the executive order <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/energy-environment\/325891-coal-executive-trump-cant-bring-mining-jobs-back\">can\u2019t bring mining jobs back<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>7. An extraordinarily broad and diverse coalition is supporting the Clean Power Plan in court. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/2015\/12\/24\/the-broad-and-diverse-coalition-that-is-supporting-the-clean-power-plan-in-court\/\">coalition<\/a> includes, among others: eighteen states and sixty municipalities; power companies that own and operate nearly ten percent of the nation\u2019s generating capacity; leading businesses like Amazon, Apple, Google, Mars, and IKEA; former Republican heads of EPA; public health and environmental organizations; consumer and ratepayer advocates; faith organizations; and many others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>8. Large majorities of Americans in red and blue states alike support reducing climate pollution from existing power plants. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2017\/03\/21\/climate\/how-americans-think-about-climate-change-in-six-maps.html?_r=0\">recent national poll<\/a>, 69 percent of Americans support placing limits on climate pollution from existing power plants \u2013 including a majority of Americans in every Congressional district in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>9. The nation\u2019s leading businesses support policies to reduce climate pollution. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Just this month, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lowcarbonusa.org\/\">over 1,000 companies<\/a> and investors called on the Trump Administration to continue low-carbon policies, noting that \u201cfailure to build a low-carbon economy puts American prosperity at risk\u201d and that \u201cthe right action now will create jobs and boost U.S. competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>10. The Clean Power Plan rests on a rock-solid legal foundation. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The Supreme Court has <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/2017\/02\/24\/epa-has-the-responsibility-and-the-tools-to-address-climate-pollution-under-the-clean-air-act\/\">held on three separate occasions<\/a> that Congress has vested EPA with the responsibility \u2013 and the tools \u2013 to reduce carbon pollution under the Clean Air Act. Numerous\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/2016\/04\/25\/experts-agree-the-clean-power-plan-has-a-rock-solid-legal-and-technical-foundation\/\">legal<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/2015\/11\/10\/a-growing-number-of-experts-affirm-the-strong-legal-basis-for-the-clean-power-plan\/\">experts<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0 including drafters of the Clean Air Act, former EPA Administrators who served under Presidents Nixon, Reagan, and Bush, and former state energy and environmental officials \u2013 have affirmed the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/2016\/09\/26\/the-legal-case-for-the-clean-power-plan-in-a-nutshell\/\">strong legal basis\u00a0<\/a>for the Clean Power Plan<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Attacks on the Clean Power Plan and our other clean air protections present an unprecedented attack on our children\u2019s health. It takes our nation backwards \u2013 to more pollution, more disease \u2013 even though Americans support forward progress towards clean air and clean energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just hours after President Trump signed an executive order to weaken a wide range of\u00a0America\u2019s important climate and heath\u00a0protections, the Administration filed a motion to delay the D.C Circuit court\u2019s review of the Clean Power Plan case.
