$90 Billion Investment in Emissions Reductions
According to a new report from Energy Ventures Analysis, Inc., the U.S. power industry has invested roughly $90 billion dollars to deploy clean coal technologies to reduce air emissions since 1990.
The $90 billion deployment in emission-reduction technologies has made today’s coal-based generating fleet 77 percent cleaner in terms of emissions currently regulated under existing Clean Air Act programs per unit of energy produced. At the same time, prices for making electricity from coal have remained stable at about a third of the cost of other base load fuels.
