Impacts of the EPA's Power Plant Rule
|
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) power plant rule threatens access to reliable electricity for millions of Americans. The EPA's power plant rule will:
|
- Force the premature closure of many power plants that currently provide electricity 24/7.
- Mandate the deployment of unproven carbon capture and storage technology.
- Jeopardize the reliability of the grid at a time when America is already facing a surge in electricity demand.
- Heighten the risk of rolling power outages to relieve pressure on the electric grid.
- Increase costs for consumers as utilities are forced to pay for new power generation to comply with the EPA rule.

Adjust the temperature.

Farm and Ranch Stress Is REAL
|
Farming and ranching are highly stressful, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and a suicide rate of 43.7 per 100,000 people—sixth highest among occupations. Signs include changes in routine, declining farm care, more accidents, and reduced personal care.
To help, ask about suicidal thoughts, ensure safety, listen, connect them with resources, and maintain contact. In the U.S., one person dies by suicide every 10.9 minutes, with suicide being the 11th leading cause of death in 2021.
