Summary
What This Bill Does
The bill requires prohibition on greenhouse gas emissions from new electric utility steam generating units and restrictions on LNG terminal approvals, requires new Clean Air Act Section 111A - zero-emission standard for new electric utility steam generating units, and imposes ban on crude oil and natural gas exports, amending the Consolidated Appropriations Act and Natural Gas Act. It relies on compliance mandates, product standards, and trade restrictions. The main policy areas are Energy, Education, and Government.
Who Benefits and How
Renewable energy companies could gain revenue opportunities, Renewable and nuclear energy companies could gain revenue opportunities, and U.S. refiners and petrochemical manufacturers could see lower costs.
Who Bears the Burden and How
U.S. oil and gas producers (export-oriented) could lose revenue opportunities, U.S. crude oil and natural gas exporters could lose revenue opportunities, and New fossil-fuel electric utility steam generating units could face higher barriers.
