New fossil fuel power plants, fracking, and most oil and gas exports would be banned.
This bill would stop new power plants from emitting any greenhouse gases. It would also ban hydraulic fracturing (fracking) across the U.S. starting in 2029 and block most exports of American crude oil and natural gas. These changes aim to shift the country away from fossil fuels.
Today, new electric utility steam generating units can emit greenhouse gases, hydraulic fracturing is allowed on U.S. land, and most domestically produced crude oil and natural gas can be exported. After this bill, new electric utility steam generating units would be prohibited from emitting any greenhouse gases, hydraulic fracturing would be banned across the U.S. starting January 1, 2029, and most exports of U.S. crude oil and natural gas would stop.
