The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will convene a two-day hearing in Pittsburgh on the Clean Power Plan on November 12 and 13 -- one of only four EPA hearings to be held across the country. The Clean Power Plan is the first ever limit on carbon pollution for existing power plants.
We need you to stand up and show your support FOR the Clean Power Plan, an essential first step toward mitigating climate change and improving air quality. Since the Clean Power Plan rule was finalized in August, big polluters have actively worked to dismantle it, using frivolous lawsuits and legislative attacks.
No doubt, big polluters will be in Pittsburgh, too, to voice their opposition to the Clean Power Plan. That’s why we need you to be there, with PennFuture and our partners, to show your support for the Clean Power Plan and its benefits to climate, health, and the economy.Citizens from all walks of life joined for the Clean Power Plan Rally
Thursday, November 12 – 11:30 am – 12:30 pm
Outside of the William S. Moorhead Federal Building
1000 Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15222
If you can't voice your support in person, you still have time to let the EPA know your thoughts. Comments on the proposed Federal Plan and Model Rules for the Clean Power Plan must be received by January 21, 2016. More information is available on EPA’s website.
