RGGI Scope Not Likely to Meet Requirements Of Federal Clean Power Plan, CRS Reports

摘要

It's uncertain if the "scope and stringency" of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative is sufficient to meet the requirements of the Clean Power Plan, according to a July 2 report on RGGI from the Congressional Research Service. The report, "The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative: Lessons Learned and Issues for Congress," cited two issues of concern. First, it said RGGI's current emissions cap ends in 2020, while the CPP's proposed requirements would run from 2020 to 2030.
