spokeswoman told The Times. “But we have been clear from the start that we will use all of our legally-upheld tools, grounded in decades-old bipartisan laws, to address dangerous air pollution and protect the air our children breathe today and for generations to come.”
The new rules the Biden administration is about to impose on natural gas plants, Mr. Pyle said, are meant to eliminate natural gas plants entirely. The administration has taken steps to facilitate carbon sequestration and capture technology in fossil fuel plants.
