Environment Protection Agency Attempts to Limit Carbon Emissions

The federal Environmental Protection Agency has moved forward on a set of rules to limit greenhouse gas emissions from new coal-fired power plants. Because the rule would have no effect on existing plants, New Mexico will be largely unaffected. But Shrayas Jatkar with Sierra Club New Mexico,  says as the state has been repealing its own rules to limit carbon emissions, this development sends an important message. Jatkar says the Sierra Club will be working to inform residents about the rule during the 60 day comment period that begins now.
