From the Climate Reality Project (https://www.climaterealityproject.org/):
Back in 2015, we hit an incredible milestone in the fight against climate change. Limits on carbon emissions from power plants in the US were finally established, and America’s Clean Power Plan became a reality.
The Obama Administration agreed with the millions of Americans who believed that the health of everyday citizens – and our environment – was more important than allowing Big Polluters to continue recklessly contaminating our air and water supply.
But by now you already know that Scott Pruitt’s EPA is going all in to destroy or significantly weaken this critical policy.
Climate deniers like Administrator Pruitt claim that the rule is a “regulatory burden” on our economy – but we know this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Limiting greenhouse gas emissions and supporting clean energy is good for our health, our families, and our economy.
That’s why it’s on us, and especially Climate Reality Leaders like you, to speak out against this dangerous repeal.
And the good news is, there are now more ways to speak up and make your voice heard. Here’s the latest info on what you can do:
- The initial public comment period about repealing the plan has just been extended to April 26, 2018, so you have more time to add your own comment and urge your networks to join you in taking this important action.
Go to https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0355 to tell the EPA: Strengthen the Clean Power Plan
To add your comment, simply click “Add Comment” and explain why you think the Clean Power Plan should be strengthened, not repealed.
- Thanks to this extension, the initial comment period now overlaps with a new comment period that the EPA has opened to solicit feedback specifically on the replacement that would follow repeal.
If you’ve already submitted to the original comment period, you can simply re-use the same language again to show your support for strengthening America’s Clean Power Plan.
Take a moment to speak up again on this page (just click the “Add Comment” button).

We can take our country back from Big Polluters and fossil fuel supporters like EPA Administrator Pruitt. But we’re counting on knowledgeable voices like yours to make it happen.
