Build Smaller Natural Gas Power Plants Closer To The Users

Weekly Address: Reducing Carbon Pollution in Our Power Plants In this week's address, President Obama discussed new actions by the Environmental Protection Agency to cut dangerous carbon pollution, a plan that builds on the efforts already taken by many states, cities and companies. These new commonsense guidelines to reduce carbon pollution from power plants were created with feedback from businesses, and state and local governments, and they would build a clean energy economy while reducing carbon pollution.

As a parent, the President said he is dedicated to make sure our planet is cleaner and safer for future generations. Click here to watch this week's Weekly Address.
