Peabody issued the following statement based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed repeal of the Clean Power Plan. The EPA said repeal will facilitate the development of U.S. energy resources and reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens associated with the development of those resources, in keeping with the principles established in President Trump's Executive Order on Energy Independence.

We encourage continued steps to protect affordable, reliable and resilient coal-fueled generation for American families and businesses, and support repeal of regulations that would have raised power costs and damaged reliability with no significant benefit. We believe technology is the best path to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and continue to advocate for high-efficiency, low-emissions technologies along with carbon capture, use and storage over time.
