6 , the notorious law the Legislature passed in 2019 that slapped Ohio ratepayers with a monthly surcharge to bail out two struggling nuclear plants. 6 was enacted, the plants have emitted more than 29 million tons of heat-trapping carbon dioxide, 28,000 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), and 16,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SOx).

That would of course include fossil gas, which consists of 85 to 90 percent methane, a significantly more potent heat-trapping gas than carbon dioxide. A 2022 study found that gas stoves leak methane, and more than three-quarters of the emissions occurred when the stoves were off. Likewise, they have been busy shoring up their markets.

The transportation sector is also a substantial source of nitrogen oxides and particulates, both of which are dangerous to human health. Transportation is now the source of 28% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, more than the electric power sector. I’m an appellate litigator with a focus on climate and Clean Air Act cases.

The rule, which also applies to new gas plants, would avoid as much as 617 million metric tons of carbon dioxide through 2042, the EPA calculated , the equivalent of the annual emissions of 137 million passenger vehicles—about half of the cars in the country.

Trump is targeting both federal and CA vehicle standards in his recent executive order standards that not only reduce climate emissions but also slash air pollutants like nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Undermining these rules will have major negative environmental, health, energy, and consumer impacts. auto industry.
