carta<\/a> Seg\u00fan la jefa de la Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental, Gina McCarthy, el martes, los senadores pidieron a la administraci\u00f3n que fortalezca los requisitos de su norma propuesta y finalice una mucho m\u00e1s estricta que resulte en reducciones m\u00e1s pronunciadas de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero.<\/p>\nLa propuesta actual, que la EPA espera finalizar en junio de 2015, exige que la flota nacional de centrales el\u00e9ctricas existentes reduzca las emisiones de di\u00f3xido de carbono en un 30 por ciento para 2030 con respecto a los niveles de 2005.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cSi bien los objetivos de reducci\u00f3n de emisiones del Plan de Energ\u00eda Limpia son loables, creemos que con cambios modestos para reflejar las condiciones tecnol\u00f3gicas y del mercado del mundo real, el plan puede y debe lograr reducciones de emisiones a\u00fan mayores\u201d, afirma la carta.<\/p>\n
Los senadores dem\u00f3cratas Jeff Merkley (Oreg\u00f3n), Elizabeth Warren (Massachusetts), Dianne Feinstein (California) y el senador independiente Bernie Sanders (Vermont), junto con algunos otros, dijeron que la EPA deber\u00eda exigir m\u00e1s energ\u00eda renovable y implementaci\u00f3n de la eficiencia energ\u00e9tica bajo ciertos elementos b\u00e1sicos de la norma.<\/p>\n
"El Plan de Energ\u00eda Limpia ser\u00e1 el paso m\u00e1s importante que este pa\u00eds haya dado jam\u00e1s para abordar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en el sector energ\u00e9tico, por lo que es esencial que se haga correctamente", afirma la carta.<\/p>\n
"Para que el Plan de Energ\u00eda Limpia sea un \u00e9xito, debe alcanzar el nivel de reducci\u00f3n de emisiones que la ciencia exige para evitar los impactos m\u00e1s peligrosos del cambio clim\u00e1tico", a\u00f1ade.<\/p>\n
La EPA concluy\u00f3 su per\u00edodo de comentarios p\u00fablicos sobre la propuesta de contaminaci\u00f3n por carbono a principios de este mes.<\/p>\n
Los republicanos y la industria del petr\u00f3leo y el carb\u00f3n se encuentran entre los mayores opositores de la propuesta, argumentando que eliminar\u00eda empleos, da\u00f1ar\u00eda la econom\u00eda y potencialmente da\u00f1ar\u00eda la red el\u00e9ctrica.<\/p>\n
Cuando los republicanos tomen el control del Senado el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o, planean atacar el plan clim\u00e1tico del presidente, espec\u00edficamente la norma sobre contaminaci\u00f3n de carbono y los esfuerzos de la administraci\u00f3n para trabajar con otras naciones que luchan contra el cambio clim\u00e1tico.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
