Obama's 'Clean Power Plan' is estimated to save up to $93 billio

Avalon - Obama's 'Clean Power Plan' is estimated to save up to $93 billion in healthcare costs by 2030 and prevent 6,600 premature deaths and 150,000 asthma attacks in children, but congressional Republicans oppose the plan, claiming that it will cost jobs in the coal industry. Would you be willing to risk the health and well-being of loved ones so that someone in the coal industry could have a job? Of course not, but congressional Republicans are. Furthermore, a recent Economic Policy Institute analysis indicates that there would be a net gain in employment due to the creation of clean-energy jobs.
