Dec.28 - Tell EPA to regulate coal-fired power plants through clean air act

Subject: Dec. 28 is deadline for action: Use Clean Air Act to regulate coal-fired power plant


Earlier this month, President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency issued a formal declaration that global warming pollution is a threat to public health and welfare -- something that the rest of us have known for a long, long time.

The way is cleared for the Clean Air Act to become an crucial weapon in our fight to stop climate change. The Obama administration is now in a position to regulate global warming pollution without having to wait for Congress (which has been lured into writing weak climate policies by industry lobbyists with deep pockets).

I just signed submitted a public comment to the EPA in support of a strong rule to regulate greenhouse gases from coal-fired plants and other big polluters under the Clean Air Act. I hope you will, too. The deadline is Monday, Dec. 28. Please have a look and take action.
