EPA says Clean Power Plan will create jobs

The EPA says the administration’s Clean Power Plan will create jobs and save money by reducing emissions and increasing the use of renewable energies such as solar and wind, “The final plan gives states additional time to plan and also lets states decide their own emissions reductions trajectory. These are changes that we made in response to a lot of comments that will help minimize costs, maintain reliability, and, enable the investment in new and clean technology, ” says Janet McCabe with the EPA’s Air office.

She says each state has specific goals based on their current power plant mix.  The Clean Power Plan is open to public comment for 90 days.
