Looking beyond conservation and efficiency, we must focus our efforts on the development and use of truly
sustainable abundant, affordable, reliable, and clean energy. At present, no source of energy meets all
four elements of sustainability. For that reason, the United States must ignite an era of energy innovation,
working to make clean those electrons that are today affordable and reliable, and make affordable and
reliable those electrons that are relatively clean. Unfortunately, current policies are overwhelmingly skewed
toward the latter, while giving little attention and support to the former. This imbalance is a serious failing
that demands immediate attention. More than talk about policy parity, we must make it real.
To be focused only on clean is not enough. Energy affordability and reliability have helped lead our nation
to the heights of economic prosperity, social well-being, and environmental progress, and both are of critical
importance to families and businesses in every corner of America. Maintaining access to affordable and
reliable electricity domestically and globally are essential prerequisites to any serious or realistic effort to
address the climate challenge.
The American people will object, and other nations of the world will not follow, if the path we chart is one of
more expensive, less reliable energy. True leadership requires the pursuit of policies that will make all forms
of clean energy less expensive, be they renewable or fossil-based, and as reliable as current baseload coalfired generation.
Unfortunately, the EPAs recently published rules for new and existing electric generating units severely miss
the mark in many important regards. Taken together, they endanger the continued development of critical
carbon-mitigating technologies necessary to achieve sustainability, threaten the reliability of the U.S. power
grid, and place significant economic burdens on the American economy and the American people, in the form
of higher energy costs and a potentially less reliable electric grid, without achieving any meaningful
reductions in global CO2 emissions.
Carbon capture and utilization/storage (CCS) is an absolutely essential element of any realistic climate
strategy. In the IEAs World Energy Outlook Special Report (June 2015), published in preparation for the COP
21 meetings in Paris this December, CCS accounts for a full one-third of the total CO2 emission reductions
necessary to move from the IEAs near-term Bridge Scenario to its longer-term, climate-stabilizing 450
Scenario. According to the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
released last year, to attempt to achieve climate stabilization without CCS would increase the cost, globally,
by 138% more than double.
If we are to be serious about addressing the climate challenge, we must get serious about CCS, making the
same public commitment to it that that we have to the development and deployment of the other two legs
of the climate stool increased energy efficiency and increased use of non-fossil fuels (renewables and
nuclear). To do so will require both greatly increasing public and private investment in CCS and adopting
regulatory mechanisms that encourage, not impede, its accelerated development and broad deployment.
It is in the latter regard that the EPAs rule for new power plants is of real concern. Rather than driving CCS
forward, the rule threatens to discourage continued investment in the development and deployment of CCS
in the United States. To do so, the rule, contrary to the very purposes for which it has been created, would
actually work against itself.
As for the EPAs rule for existing power plants, there is great concern that it will place tremendous economic
burdens on the American economy, American families, and American businesses, without any direct material
impact on global CO2 emissions. Absent other nations following our lead, the EPAs existing-unit rule will do
nothing to stem the growth of global CO2 emissions. Leadership requires that others follow, and while we
not only support, but call for U.S. leadership in addressing the global climate challenge, policies that increase
the cost of electricity and reduce the reliability of the grid as the EPAs proposal for existing units would do
will not lead other nations to follow, particularly not those in the developing world.
Moreover, raising the cost of energy in the United States will lead to a transfer of economic activity and jobs
from the United States to other nations many of which generate electricity less efficiently and with far
higher rates of CO2 emissions. In such instances, this carbon leakage will actually result in a net increase
in global CO2 emissions, all the while our constituents will be paying a very real economic price at home. As
Democrats, particularly mindful of the impact of policy decisions on American workers and their families,
seniors, minorities, and others, we find such an outcome difficult to explain.
The debate over climate change is one of the most divisive of our time. It need not be, and this letter is proofpositive of that. We are as diverse a collection of Democrats as possible, drawn from all regions of our nation,
all levels of government and our party, and with wide-ranging views on energy and the environment. By
rallying around all three legs of the climate stool efficiency, renewables, and CCS and not losing sight of
the importance of affordability and reliability in our pursuit of clean, we can overcome what are too often
seen, incorrectly, as intractable and irreconcilable differences. We can create harmony and consensus, and,
in doing so, we can establish a workable pathway for reducing CO2 emissions not only at home, but around
the world.
Mr. President, we have consciously sought to be constructive in expressing our concerns regarding the EPAs
rules for new and existing power plants and the larger imbalance in our current energy and environmental
policies. Our goal is to work with you to seize the opportunity before us for the United States to establish
itself as a true global leader through an unparalleled commitment to energy innovation on one of the
great challenges of our time. Let us lead by bringing abundant, affordable, reliable, and clean energy
sustainable coal, natural gas, wind, solar, and nuclear energy to our nation and to the world.
Holding fast to our Democratic traditions and principles, let us work together to deliver both a prosperous
economy and a clean, enduring environment to current and future generations, at home and abroad.
