EPA projected emissions after the repeal

EPA’s analysis projects higher annual power plant carbon dioxide emissions under the partial repeal than under the standards being repealed.

EPA Table 3-3 reports annual additions of 20, 406, 533 and 486 million metric tons of CO₂ in 2030, 2035, 2040 and 2045.

These are modeled future differences, not observed emissions, cumulative totals or probabilities.

EPA’s cost comparison does not assign a dollar value to the climate damage from these additional emissions. Compliance savings do not measure the full social effect.

Figures use EPA’s rounded table values; independently subtracting the displayed 2030 totals gives 19 rather than EPA’s reported 20.
