Right now, there are no limits at all on carbon pollution from power plants, the single largest source of this pollution in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>These standards are a necessary, common sense step that will ensure cleaner power generation that helps protect our children from dangerous smog and our communities from extreme weather. They will also drive innovation, so that America can continue to lead the world in the race to develop cleaner, safer power technologies.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pediatrics.aappublications.org\/content\/120\/5\/1149.full\">American Academy of Pediatrics<\/a>\u00a0journal publication:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>Anticipated direct health consequences of climate change include injury and death from extreme weather events and natural disasters, increase in climate-sensitive infectious disease, increases in air pollution-related illness, and more heat related, potentially fatal, illness. Within all of these categories, children have increased vulnerability compared with other groups.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lung.org\/assets\/documents\/climate-change-and-ozone.pdf\">American Lung Association<\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>website<strong>:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>Scientists warn that the buildup of greenhouse gases and the climate changes caused by it will create conditions, including warmer temperatures, which will increase the risk of unhealthful ambient ozone levels. Higher temperatures can enhance the conditions for ozone formation. Even with the steps that are in place to reduce ozone, evidence warns that changes in climate are likely to increase ozone levels in the future in large parts of the United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amednews.com\/article\/20110404\/opinion\/304049959\/4\/\">American Medical Association<\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>news\/opinion piece<strong>:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>If physicians want evidence of climate change, they may well find it in their own offices. Patients are presenting with illnesses that once happened only in warmer areas. Chronic conditions are becoming aggravated by more frequent and extended heat waves. Allergy and asthma seasons are getting longer. . . . Rising air and water temperatures and rising ocean levels since the late 1960s have increased the severity of weather, including hurricanes and droughts, and the production of ground-level ozone. That means more asthma and respiratory illnesses, more heat stroke and exhaustion, and exacerbation of chronic conditions such as heart disease.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cost-effective, low-carbon\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/energy\/energy-innovation-series\">energy solutions<\/a>\u00a0are already helping spur the economy, create good jobs and reduce harmful pollution in red and blue states across the country.\u00a0Industries are recognizing that these\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/climate\/remaking-energy\">smart power solutions<\/a>\u00a0are not only good for people and the environment, but also very good for business.<\/p>\n<p>Many major power companies have recognized the need to address carbon.
