The temperature has been rising since the year 1901. The may cause of this is because of CO2 emission. The US is one of the countries with the highest CO2 emissions. High CO2 levels is also the reason for the insane weather storms that have been happening since 2012.

Obama’s Clean Power Plan will help reduce CO2 levels and cut peoples’ electric bills in half. By finding ways to find less expensive alternative energy sources people will be able to pay less. Also people are excepted to become healthier because of the reduction of pollution in the air. The plan is for the Environmental Protection Agency will propose guidelines for each state to follow. The EPA will set a goal for each state for how much CO2 they should be cutting out and the states will try to get to that goal. The plan’s goal is to cut electricity bills by 8% by the year 2030. Overall Obama’s Plan is quiet simple to save money and be healthier the US needs to find ways to cut down on CO2 and get more product for the energy used.
