BendiNewsTest: America’s Dirtiest Power Plants Could Be Exempted from the Clean Power Plan

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

America’s Dirtiest Power Plants Could Be Exempted from the Clean Power Plan

President Obama’s Clean Power Plan could be all smoke and mirrors, as some of the country’s dirtiest power plants might end up exempted from it. The Huffington Post reports that some of the most polluting fossil-fueled power plants in the United States (located on Indian reservations in New Mexico, Arizona and Utah) are excluded from the Environmental Protection Agency’s calculations used to set the the carbon emissions rate cut goals for their respective states – because rules in each state don’t apply to Indian reservations.
