Biden Administration & Energy Policy: The Costs of Net-Zero Electricity

As part of the Biden administration’s effort to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of the United States to zero by the year 2050, the Environmental Protection Agency is preparing regulations that would forbid power plants from emitting CO2.

According to the New York Times, “President Biden’s administration is poised to announce limits on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that could compel them to capture the pollution from their smokestacks, technology now used by fewer than 20 of the nation’s 3,400 coal and gas-fired plants, according to three people who were briefed on the rule.”
