�Climate change � caused by carbon pollution � is one of the most significant public health threats of our time,� McCarthy said at the National Press Club. �That�s why EPA has been called to action.�
McCarthy cited power plants as the nation's worst polluters.
�Power plants are the single largest sources of carbon pollution,� McCarthy said. �New power plants can minimize their carbon emissions by taking advantage of modern technologies.�
