This EPA has done more in the last 8 months than the previous EPA did in the last 8 years. They are currently deciding whether to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants. You can weigh in with your comments, but the deadline for that is December 28th. This is the easy way to send your comment, from CREDO:

Earlier this month, President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency issued a formal declaration that global warming pollution is a threat to public health and welfare — something that the rest of us have known for a long, long time.

The way is cleared for the Clean Air Act to become an crucial weapon in our fight to stop climate change. The Obama administration is now in a position to regulate global warming pollution without having to wait for Congress (which has been lured into writing weak climate policies by industry lobbyists with deep pockets).

Stand up for strong regulation of greenhouse gases before the deadline on Monday, Dec. 28. Clicking here will automatically sign your name to a public comment at EPA.

Coal-fired power plants are by far the largest producer of global warming pollution in the U.S., and Obama’s EPA is now considering a rule that would finally allow these pollution-belching smoke stacks to be regulated. This is one of the President’s best opportunities to ensure we pass on a safer planet to the next generation, but we know that Big Coal is going to fight us at every turn.

The EPA is accepting public comments on Obama’s plan to regulate greenhouse gases from coal-fired plants and other big polluters under the Clean Air Act. But the public comment period ends at the end of the day on Monday. We only have a short amount of time to show much needed support and counter the powerful coal industry lobby.

This is urgent. Take action by 6:00pm Eastern time on Monday, Dec. 28th, and we will deliver your name along with our petition as a public comment to the EPA.
