It’s called the “Good Neighbor” rule, and it’s just another power grab by a progressive administration to force our economy into a greener future, and rate-payers and utility companies will be left holding the bill.
As usual, the EPA has put a ridiculous and unrealistic goal into motion in the hopes of furthering bureaucrats’ vision of a carbon-neutral society. While the goal is laudable, the mechanism they seek to use to get there is not. Here in Utah, we account for under 2% of the national total for nitrous oxide emissions. But the EPA wants us to reduce those emissions by 12% of the national total. This would result in higher electrical bills, reduced energy supply, a less reliable grid, and the closure of power plants. At a time when uncertainty is an economic certainty, the last we need is higher costs and a spotty power supply.
We need Gov. Spencer Cox and Attorney General Sean Reyes to say enough is enough, and join lawsuits that are currently in motion to stop this heavy handed government overreach from becoming law.
