Carbon dioxide emissions from electric power plants have fallen to their lowest level in decades, and that trend could help states meet their emissions goals under the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan (http://www.climatecentral.org/news/critical-moment-clean-power-plan-19596) if it survives court challenges (http://www.climatecentral.org/news/the-suit-against-the-clean-power-plan-explained-20234), according to new U.S. Energy Information Administration data (http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.cfm?id=26232) and a New York University analysis (http://policyintegrity.org/documents/CPP_Stay_PolicyBrief.pdf).

Carbon dioxide emissions from generating electricity in 2015 were 21 percent below 2005 levels in the U.S. The goal of the Clean Power Plan is to cut emissions by 32 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, mainly from coal-fired power plants.
