“Bloomberg Philanthropies has worked to block nearly 30% of new gas capacity since 2020 and helped secure the retirement of over 70% of U.S. coal plants over the last decade – leading to more than 54,000 lives saved. These new rules from the Environmental Protection Agency, which limit pollution from existing coal plants and future gas plants, will help clean our air and speed up the clean energy transition. The next crucial step for the EPA is to finalize rules that curb pollution on the nearly 1,500 existing gas plants. The sooner it acts, the sooner more people can breathe easier and live healthier lives.”
