Now federal regulators are asking them to walk the walk.\u00a0<\/span><span>The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a new rule on Thursday<\/span><span> to nearly eliminate climate pollution from the nation&#039;s coal- and natural-gas-burning power plants by 2040. Energy companies to replace their fossil-fuel power generators with renewables, a strategy the Supreme Court rejected last summer<\/span><span> - the new proposal focuses on what can be achieved with technologies such as carbon capture and storage or CCS.\u00a0<\/span><span>At least they focus on what is\u00a0<\/span><em><span>theoretically<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0achievable based on optimistic forecasts from CCS proponents. Although the EPA claims that CCS technology is \u201cadequately demonstrated<\/span><span>&#039; and &#039;highly cost-effective&#039;, experts are deeply skeptical that it can achieve the promised reductions in emissions. Ultimately, some told Grist, they might find it more economical to shut down fossil fuel power plants and switch to renewable energy. <em>(Joseph Winter, <\/em><\/span><em>\u00a0GRIST)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8222;EPA vol\u00e1 blaf na energetick\u00fd priemysel.&#8220;\u00a0Spolo\u010dnosti a spolo\u010dnosti vyr\u00e1baj\u00face fos\u00edlne paliv\u00e1 u\u017e roky propaguj\u00fa zachyt\u00e1vanie a ukladanie uhl\u00edka alebo CCS ako sp\u00f4sob, ako zn\u00ed\u017ei\u0165 zne\u010distenie kl\u00edmy z energetick\u00e9ho sektora.\u00a0Teraz ich feder\u00e1lni regul\u00e1tori \u017eiadaj\u00fa, aby kr\u00e1\u010dali pe\u0161o.\u00a0Americk\u00e1 agent\u00fara na ochranu \u017eivotn\u00e9ho prostredia (EPA) vo \u0161tvrtok navrhla nov\u00e9 pravidlo na takmer elimin\u00e1ciu zne\u010distenia kl\u00edmy z n\u00e1rodn\u00fdch elektr\u00e1rn\u00ed [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-znizovanie_co2_cdr_ccs_ccu_dac"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.co2news.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.co2news.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.co2news.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.co2news.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.co2news.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.co2news.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2976\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.co2news.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.co2news.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.co2news.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
