Description (excerpt):

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Power Plan establishes the nation’s first-ever limits on carbon pollution from existing power plants. The plan sets a carbon emissions reduction goal for each state in order to achieve a national power sector emissions reduction of 32 percent relative to 2005 levels by 2030. Texas’ target is to improve its power sector’s emissions intensity 33 percent relative to 2012 levels by 2030.
