I watched dozens of people testify, and give EPA a symbolic \u201cstanding ovation\u201d for taking such a historic step.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, there was such support around the Midwest that EPA had to open a second concurrent hearing room to accommodate all of the speakers \u2013 just like at the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/2012\/05\/24\/an-inside-look-at-epa%e2%80%99s-carbon-pollution-hearings\/\">D.C. hearing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>(That&#8217;s no surprise. States and cities across the Midwest are carrying out homegrown clean energy solutions that strengthen economic prosperity and job creation, improve our energy security, and provide a healthier environment. You can\u00a0read more in <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2012\/05\/Midwest-Clean-Energy-May-29-2012-PDF.pdf\">this new paper<\/a> [PDF]that examines some of the clean energy policies put in place in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin &#8212; and the associated private sector economic activity.) \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Back to Chicago, and the day of the hearing<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p>In the early morning, the room was slow to fill up &#8212; primarily because the huge line of people who wanted to get in had to wait through delays as everyone went through a metal detector.<\/p>\n<p>By about 9:00 a.m., a steady stream of people was filtering into the room from towns around Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>Those people were concerned citizens with a variety of backgrounds: nurses; doctors; ecologists; physicists; economists; union workers; veterans; parents; grandparents; business leaders and students.<\/p>\n<p>And, almost without exception, all of these people spoke in favor of EPA\u2019s common sense proposal to reduce the\u00a0huge amount of carbon pollution emitted from fossil fuel power plants.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, during the almost eight hours I spent listening to testimony, I only heard <em>one person<\/em> speak against <a href=\"http:\/\/epa.gov\/carbonpollutionstandard\/\">EPA\u2019s proposed standards<\/a>. <strong>Clean air advocates carried the day by a wide margin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Because I work for EDF, I testified\u00a0about how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/climate\/epa-carbon-pollution-standards\">carbon pollution<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/slideshow\/8-global-warming-effects-may-surprise-you\">climate chang<\/a>e are critical issues for the protection of human health and our environment.\u00a0You can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Collier-Testimony-GHG-NSPS-May242012.pdf\">read my full testimony here<\/a>\u00a0[PDF].\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But others\u2019 testimony reminded me how much those issues affect every aspect of our lives.<\/p>\n<p>People spoke about carbon pollution as a national security issue, an economic problem and a spiritual issue, as well as a public health and environmental threat.<\/p>\n<p>I heard scores of personal and moving stories about how air pollution impacts people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p>There were heart-wrenching moments when mothers and fathers talked about watching their children struggle to breathe because of asthma or other lung diseases.<\/p>\n<p>One elderly woman held up a photograph of her grandson and talked about his difficulty breathing and need to carry a nebulizer on his hip at all times. The audience gave her a rousing ovation.<\/p>\n<p>Asthma attacks can be triggered by ozone pollution, and the warmer temperatures caused by climate change mean we\u2019ll have more ozone pollution.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s one reason why <a href=\"http:\/\/epa.gov\/carbonpollutionstandard\/\">EPA\u2019s proposed standards for carbon pollution<\/a> are so important.\u00a0They\u2019ll cut the amount of climate-destabilizing carbon pollution emitted by new coal-fired power plants <strong>in half<\/strong>, compared to traditional plants.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd at the Chicago hearing seemed to know that. What I took away from the hearing were the messages of hope, excitement, and opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>The day was definitely a resounding victory for clean air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you already read my colleague Mandy Warner\u2019s blog, you know that I had the great honor of representing EDF in Chicago\u00a0last Thursday\u00a0at one of the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA) hearings for its first-ever proposed carbon pollution standards for new power plants.\u00a0 \u00a0 It was a day that will always stand out as a milestone &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6404,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4017,202,8,20,44],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-3459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-clean-air-act","category-greenhouse-gas-emissions","category-health","category-news","category-policy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>An Inside Look at EPA\u2019s Carbon Pollution Hearing - the Chicago Report  - Climate 411<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/2012\/05\/29\/an-inside-look-at-epa\u2019s-carbon-pollution-hearing-the-chicago-report\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"An Inside Look at EPA\u2019s Carbon Pollution Hearing - the Chicago Report  - Climate 411\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"If you already read my colleague Mandy Warner\u2019s blog, you know that I had the great honor of representing EDF in Chicago\u00a0last Thursday\u00a0at one of the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA) hearings for its first-ever proposed carbon pollution standards for new power plants.\u00a0 \u00a0 It was a day that will always stand out as a milestone ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/2012\/05\/29\/an-inside-look-at-epa\u2019s-carbon-pollution-hearing-the-chicago-report\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Climate 411\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-05-29T21:52:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2012\/05\/Rob-Collier-testifying-300x170.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Robert Collier\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Robert Collier\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.edf.org\\\/climate411\\\/2012\\\/05\\\/29\\\/an-inside-look-at-epa%e2%80%99s-carbon-pollution-hearing-the-chicago-report\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.edf.org\\\/climate411\\\/2012\\\/05\\\/29\\\/an-inside-look-at-epa%e2%80%99s-carbon-pollution-hearing-the-chicago-report\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Robert Collier\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.edf.org\\\/climate411\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/d64d8f349e23ca8f5d98ce0706cc0945\"},\"headline\":\"An Inside Look at EPA\u2019s Carbon Pollution Hearing &#8212;
