Prohibition of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Fossil Fuel Exports, and Fracking
This act aims to protect future generations by prohibiting greenhouse gas emissions from new electric utility steam generating units, banning hydraulic fracturing, and restricting crude oil and natural gas exports. These changes could impact energy costs, fuel availability, and the development of new jobs in the renewable energy sector, while improving air quality and the environment.
Key points
New electric utility steam generating units will be prohibited from emitting any greenhouse gases, aiming to reduce air pollution and slow climate change.
Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) will be banned on all onshore and offshore land within U.S. jurisdiction starting January 1, 2029, potentially affecting gas and oil production.
Exports of domestically produced crude oil and natural gas will be prohibited, with limited exceptions, which could influence domestic energy prices and trade relations.
The federal government is tasked with ensuring a fair transition for workers and frontline communities, providing training and access to clean-energy jobs.
