Apparently we have struck a nerve at EPA. On Tuesday we released our new report, Assessing Emerging Policy Threats to the U.S. Power Grid. The message of the report is simple—the reliability of the grid is in danger because of policy, such as EPA’s regulation. In fact, a whopping 103 GW of reliable coal-fired electricity—enough to power the homes of 80 million Americans—is set to go offline because of EPA. On Wednesday, EPA responded with a blog post arguing that despite all of their actions, they actually care about grid reliability.
