EPA analyzed the American Power Act, the energy and climate bill sponsored by Senators John Kerry, D-Mass., and Joe Lieberman, I-Conn. EPA’s findings show that the American Power Act’s objectives can be achieved for a few dollars a month for the average American, according to EDF. That’s a small investment in a clean energy economy that will create jobs, reduce pollution and increase America’s energy security, EDF said.
EPA’s new analysis shows that the clean energy development in the American Power Act can be met for US$79 to $146 per year per household, amounting to three to five dollars a month for the average individual American. EPA projects that key provisions, including those for energy efficiency improvements, will lead to lower household energy bills over the next two decades.
