WASHINGTON\u2014 <\/strong>El 25 de abril de 2024, la Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental de EE. UU. (EPA) Anunciado<\/a> un paquete de normas para reducir dr\u00e1sticamente el carbono, las cenizas de carb\u00f3n, el mercurio, las aguas residuales y otras contaminaciones t\u00f3xicas de las centrales el\u00e9ctricas. Las centrales el\u00e9ctricas son uno de los mayores contaminadores del pa\u00eds y las nuevas pol\u00edticas ayudar\u00e1n a reducir las emisiones de carbono de todo el sector energ\u00e9tico en m\u00e1s de 751 TP3T para 2035. Las salvaguardias tambi\u00e9n reducir\u00e1n los contaminantes t\u00f3xicos del aire y el agua, como el mercurio y el ars\u00e9nico, evitando 1.200 emisiones tempranas. muertes y 360.000 ataques de asma al a\u00f1o. En respuesta, la directora del Programa de Justicia Clim\u00e1tica y Aire Limpio de GreenLatinos, Irene Burga, emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Today’s actions from the Biden Administration and EPA Administrator Regan signal a crucial response to environmental justice communities’ calls for stronger pollution reduction measures. We applaud the removal of hydrogen co-firing from the power plant rule, marking significant progress in safeguarding public health, particularly in marginalized communities. These steps align with the Administration\u2019s 2030 climate goals of cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half. However, there’s more to be done, including setting carbon pollution standards for existing gas-fired power plants and prioritizing community input to address cumulative impacts. GreenLatinos stresses the importance of genuine solutions over false ones like Carbon Capture & Sequestration, advocating for a full transition to clean energy. Today, during Earth Week, we celebrate these efforts as a victory for clean air and public health, fulfilling promises of pollution protection from President Biden and EPA Administrator Regan.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
