The U.S. EPA replaced the Obama-era Clean Power Plan (CPP) with the newly released Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule on June 19. ACE aims to reduce power plant carbon emissions without setting limits and instead calls for efficiency improvements at generating stations and directs states to take the initiative on power plant emissions. Stanford experts on law, energy policy and economics discuss the new rule and potential impacts.
