@CallMeBigErn, what does this accomplish for Americans as China is building hundreds of new coal plants a year? Real world answers aren’t “in the weeds.”
Exactly many degrees C or F will eliminating coal plants by 2039 lower annual temperatures?
Exactly how many lesser major weather events used to sell man-made climate change will there be?
How many inches lower will the oceans have said in the rising that if it’s happening, is at a snail’s pace.
How much will it cost the average family to power their homes?
How much will the cost of goods increases as full load power capacity decreases with unreliable “renewable” energy?

The Biden administration on Thursday placed the final cornerstone of its plan to tackle climate change: a regulation that would force the nation’s coal-fired power plants to virtually eliminate the planet-warming pollution they release into the air or shut down.
The regulation from the Environmental Protection Agency requires coal plants in the United States to reduce 90% of their greenhouse pollution by 2039, one year earlier than the agency had initially proposed. The compressed timeline was welcomed by climate activists but condemned by coal executives who said the new standards would be impossible to meet.
