Description (excerpt):
ATF’s study, Power Switch, proposes a common sense, highly cost-effective approach under Clean Air Act Section 111(d) for reducing carbon pollution from existing power plants. Simply by setting performance standards that result in displacing electricity generated by high emission rate coal-fired power plants with generation from existing currently underutilized, efficient natural-gas power plants, the U.S. can realize significant, near- term reductions in carbon pollution at a minimal cost. The economic modeling of the CATF proposal was conducted by The NorthBridge Group.
