Clean Power Plan

The Clean Power Plan was a policy introduced by the Obama administration in 2015 aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants in the United States. It set specific targets for each state to lower their emissions, encouraging a shift towards cleaner energy sources like wind and solar. The plan sought to combat climate change and improve air quality, promoting healthier communities. However, it faced legal challenges and was eventually replaced by the Trump administration, which sought to roll back regulations on the energy sector. The Clean Power Plan represented a significant effort to transition to a more sustainable energy future.
