Why 4/5: Directly alters a key state policy for phasing out carbon-emitting power plants, impacting long-term climate goals.
This bill would allow certain natural gas power plants with carbon capture technology and other "emissions-positive" generating units to continue operating beyond the 2045 retirement deadline for carbon-emitting facilities. It defines "emissions-positive" units as those achieving a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, potentially altering the state's timeline for phasing out fossil fuel-based electricity generation.
