Bonefish Gear List (Ridiculous Clave)
Just thought I would start a thread to talk about what to bring...
The best polarized shades you can afford, cheap spare
Good flats hat, and spare
sun-gloves are not a bad idea
Fast-dry light colored long sleeve shirts with collar that can be raised and preferably buttoned, spares*
fast-wicking polypro tee shirts made for hot weather is desired, spares*
fast-wicking polypro underwear for wet-wading, spares*
fast-wicking zip-off leg flats pants in light colors, spares*
socks that work well inside wet-wading shoes
good wet-wading shoes that protect against coral cuts and resist filling with sand and muck
chest pack, sling or something to hold water and camera
rod, reel, line, leader, tippet, flies, etc.
travel tying kit
sandals for before/after
personal first aid kit
small collapsible water jug
bug juice
* fast wicking clothing is night and day different in terms of comfort, particularly when wet wading. Most noticeable of all is the performance underwear as compared to cotton.
Pls add anything you can think of.
Hey Juro,
If you guys wind up going to Eleuthera sometime in April...we should all meet up at the Friday Night Fish-fry in Govenor's harbour to exchange notes.
Here's a few Items you should include in your list...
- portable stripping basket for fishing ocean side beaches...keeps line out of the algae and waves.
- wading caddy (that's what I call it anyways). It's an innertube or boogie board that you tow along as you wade a flat. You can keep extra gear/water/camera/lunch/beer on it. Nothing like having an extra rod rigged and ready in case you cross paths with a big Cuda, Mutton Snapper, Jack or Lemon shark. Makes it real easy to change-up and take up virtually no extra space in your baggage.
- Snack-bar condiments...ie) small single serving packages of peanut butter, jams, jellies, dipping sauces, mustard, relish, ketchup etc. I get mine from the cafeteria at work for free...pocket a few each day in the weeks prior to a trip. Believe it or not, these save major expenses as opposed to having to buy jars and bottles of each to stock the larder.
- A few packages of "boil and serve type" dried pasta's are cheap and make for a quick good meal.
- Other stuff like coffee, powdered creamer (if you like that), sugar or substitues).
- Oh yeah...an inflatable kayak...grin!
If I wasn't already going, I'd jump!
Old Army Medic
Try and get your hands on some alcohol prep pads....very handy (per 1st aid kit above post).......neosporin antibiotic...small tube.....a few water proof bandages..
3 or 4 aspirin.....and of course some T-paper.....much better than palm branches or corn cobs :hihi:
On to Ammo.....
For those of us not so edumucated on bonefish ammo (Namely Myself), planning on this week long super Bahamian Shin Dig
What would be a good quiver of flies to have.
I am anticipating loading up one, good box that will fit in a shirt pocket for this adventure. (I've never fished like this before, so I need some assistance from the pro's).
If there is potential for catching other species besides Bones, some direction for those guys as well would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jay
Bug spray
Lens wipes for glasses
UPF 30+ lip balm
A couple of other items...
Having just returned from South Andros this week, I agree with all of the previously mentioned items. I can also add one item to the list that I am glad I brought and one that I wish I'd brought.
First, I am glad I brought my rain jacket. We didn't have rain any day I was there, but I still got soaked every morning on the way to the flats and every afternoon we returned...and when it gets rough, you'll be especially glad you brought it! I would say this is a "must have".
Second, I wish I brought some neoprene / waterproof socks. Something like SealSkinz, etc. I did a fair amount of wading on this trip and anything that can keep sand/gravel out of your wading boots would be worth bringing. I tried using tube socks and found that they don't dry out that fast and they don't really keep anything out.
I would have to especially agree to bring some sandels and maybe a very small amount of detergent. Bonefish "slime" is very hard to get out of your scrubs when it gets on you. It dries with a very heavy, flaky film. Sun gloves are a must have also, in addition to a hat that covers the tops of your ears...very painful to get burned there!
Hope that helps, good luck!
More Sun protection
I found long sleeved flats shirts and gloves a must too for sun protection. A handkerchief was very helpful for my exposed neck also to help stop the sun burn appearing, Especially around the summer months. If you just wore wading shoes and and some shorts despite the sunblock you would likely be burnt to a crisp without Long pants. I think they are a must for sunny weather wading, The water usually washed off the sunblock in pretty short order.
Drink tons of water, at least 1/2 your body weight in FL OZ, try to limit the alcohol consumption or that adds to the dehydration and possibility of getting dehydrated.
Tight lines,
Another item I always take, especially if I use a guide and and fish from a boat is a small spray bottle with fresh water. I use the water to remove saltwater spray from my glasses......prevents scratches.....
Good stuff!
Now starting from the bottom up...
the shoes should
In addition, sandals for casual time after fishing is a good idea.
Socks do help keep silt out if the shoes are good.
Something I've always found to be critical is Gatorade or similar. Water just doesn't do it for me. I hope we'll be able to purchase there.
Gatorade does come in powder form, and according to Hylena there is a grocery store that is sparse I am sure. Gallon jugs of drinking water are available and with full refrigeration units we can boil and chill as much as we need. (put collapsible camp jug on list)
I plan on bringing powdered drink, rice pilaf (although carribean peas and rice should be plentiful), power bars, pasta, herbs / spices, etc. Since there is no need for waders and not much is needed in the way of clothing I should have plenty of room when compared to a striper or steelhead trip. Each one of these items we bring takes care of multiple people, for instance a box of pasta. If we all put some stuff into the bag, we will cut the grocery bill dramatically before we even step on bonefish country soil.
Don't forget there are at least three bonefish lodges with a tourist-grade restaurants nearby, I'm sure they welcome guest diners and will probably carry common western items in their gift shop like gatorade. We should plan on a Wednesday dinner and a last night formal dinner just to break things up. (I will call to make sure that will work out)
I find it difficult to imagine that a group of anglers would not rustle up some grouper or make a deal with local fishermen, and the $20 license entitles one to 6 lobsters a day. I think it would be hilarious to give one team hunt duty each day to come up with a main course. Our own little reality show :hihi:
What we found out in Exuma (although far more populated) is that the locals have to eat, and they all don't cook their own. We found that at the roadside eateries where most locals were stopping, the nightly grilled specials were about $6 and delicious - chicken, ribs, grouper, etc. In a full kitchen unit we never cooked even once. We might not get that lucky here but again when compared to a typical camping trip it looks lavish to me.
I have attended many a Forum event, and one thing they all have in common - there is a feast involved and eating is never one of the low points :cool:
Clothing list
When I head south I usually wear most of what I bring on my back and then dress down when it gets warmer and carry those in a plastic bag that is packed. This leaves room for food stuff in the minimal bags which are carried on board. All essential items ALLOWED (hooks are not!) should be in the on board bags. Carry your rod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bahamas Air will lose them! And they don't really care if you ever get them back!!!!!!! I think you'll find a few second hand rods at the pawn broker in Nassau.
Lastly, if you need to purchase flats clothing don't scimp! Look into the 'bug off' clothing line by one of our nonsponsors. Everyone I've spoken with that's been to the Acklins swore at the mosquitoes. This will allow you to use a minimal amount of deet which should also be on the "Must Have List".
Read a little of Vletas' book last night. :cool: :eek: :smokin:
Gonna be an amazing trip!
I've only flown Bahamasair twice, no incidents with checked rods. Also met up with Neal Brown and Kent Jackson at Nassau coming from Deadmans' Cay via Bahamasair, didn't hear of anything missing.
I am bringing an assortment and will check the rod case, however I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to carry on the 5pc 8wt since it's such a tiny little package. I will bring at least one spare in case someone else is not as fortunate.
I strongly suggest that your carry-on luggage include everything that you need to fish with, personal toiletries, and a change of clothing.
Baggage that doesn't make the trip over is based strictly upon weight, and it is highly probably that one or several pieces will not make the first trip over with your group. The winner of the lost luggage lottery will spend several days near a phone and regularly meeting the ferry to see if the luggage made it over as promised. Knowing the "800" phone numbers for the airlines and local ferry phone number will be a plus. Also, don't fly out of Miami if you can avoid it.
When looking at the contents of your carry-on, ask yourself what is the minimum esstential you will need for the first three days. Based upon my experience since 1982, that's my .02 cents worth. Wish I was going with y'all as your about to have a blast.
Lots of good stuff on the list to which I would add:
- Imodium - I find that if I have I don't need it :D
- wire tippet for barracuda
- hook sharpener
I would be a defininite for this one but Christmas Island is calling me back next year and that's a two week trip minimum.
Now if I could just land a job that pays good $$$ with more than the standard 15 paid days vac. I would be there in a flash :smokin:

Ya gots to keep the ignorant, great unwashed from rising up.
1.The King and his tributes are paranoid and showing their insecurity by doing what they do best and thats be bullies.Just look at the way they dress and arm their minions for domestic civil unrest.Don't you think its odd that the DHS and police depts have armored vehicles with 50 caliber machine guns mounted and show them off at shopping malls?
2. Big purchases allows them greater purchasing power.
3.Dry up the market & let the suppliers know whos boss.
4.They are scared.
What is really a hoot is that it is payed for by taxpayer money and monies borrowed from China.
But maybe all of the spending is just for the purpose of lining their buddies pockets.
Always follow the money....................

Good game but I have never seen a team get beat by 2 guys. The Clemson QB and Wide Receiver could not be contained. The LSU QB could not hit critical passes. Congratulations Clemson ........well TIGERS won anyway......LOL.

I don't blame Miles for throwing the ball, he was going for the win. Clemson's O played harder and the LSU patchwork O Line just didn't get the job done. LSU's D was in the game for 100 plays, they were gassed. Credit Clemson.

Signature win by Al Golden
Signature win by Al Golden
Follow me @LandShark_13
Now lets beat the ****ing Jets. Would be the best football weekend in years.
Al Golden is the man. So is Mike James.
Golden/James 2012!
That was a great ****ing game.
2-0 in the ACC, both wins on the road.
What an awesome game!!! Damn I thought we were done soon after the 3rd quarter started. That's how you finish games, that's why you never quit! Always about the []_[]!
Happy to see Mike James have such a huge game. He's been an absolute warrior for this team since he's been here. Just a huge win for the team, to go from being up big, to down big, fighting through it, and coming up with that epic 4th and inches stand, and then of course Mike James finishing the job. Stephen Morris had some high throws, but he's much better than I thought he would be. And Davon Johnson. Kid has made plays every time he's touched the rock. Who would of guessed. Give the man more touches, especially since Lewis is likely done for the year.
Never doubted Golden for a second... That was a great ****ing win. To fight back in the 4th after letting the lead slip away. Beautiful. The D stood up when it needed to without Perryman. Chickillo became a man today. I'm excited about the future of our oline with Art back where he belongs. They could be dominant in a year. Morris is erratic as hell, but came through when it counted. Would still like to see us run the ball more. Duke cannot get enough touches. There are obvious flaws with this team, as you would expect with its youth, but this is one of the best wins we've had in years. Hugely important for our ACC chances, which are looking very good right now. 19-36-23 point swings. Madness.

Don't Be The Grinch That Trashed Christmas
Louisiana, like the rest of the nation, produces more garbage during December than any other month of the year. You can make Christmas a lot easier on you and your family by doing some concerted home environmental planning.
Have a Green Christmas
Look for reuse and recycling opportunities as you replace appliances, electronics and computers.
Discarded cell phones may be donated for Domestic Violence Programs though your cell services provider.
Discarded electronics (computers, copiers, fax machines, printers, monitors) may be donated to a local nonprofit, parent-teacher association or the Louisiana Corporate Recycling Council's computers for schools program, 225.379.3577. Parts that cannot be refurbished can be sent for dismantling.
Appliances may either be donated or sent for recycling.
Outgrown toys and clothes and furniture may be donated to organizations like Salvation Army, Paralyzed Veterans, or Volunteers of America.
Look for ways to avoid creating garbage. Rather than wrapping gifts for the youngsters, hide the presents, and turn Christmas into a treasure hunt. Create you own recyclable wrapping paper by using the Sunday comics, magazines and wrapping paper recovered from previous events.
Practice "pre-cycling" by taking recycling or reuse into consideration when you buy. How do you do this? Simple. Consider an artificial tree that does not have to be discarded or recycled and is not a fire hazard. You can buy a live tree and plant it in your yard after the holidays. If you buy a cut tree, plan your decorations to minimize flocking, tinsel, and decorations that will have to be removed before recycling. Check with your local solid waste officials, recycler, or waste company to determine local requirements. Trees that have lights, ornaments, excessive tensile, spray or flocking or include stands or plastic bags simply add to the garbage collection. Most Louisiana municipal and parish tree collections are held during the first two weeks of January. Trees are collected for use in coastal restoration projects or used in compost projects. Check with the Coastal Protection & Restoration Authority on the use of Christmas trees in coastal Louisiana.
"Out with old, in with the new?"
Innovate Your Gift-Wrapping
Save and reuse gift bags. Home made and endlessly reusable Christmas theme fabric with Velcro fasteners can substitute for paper wrap. Large or odd size gifts maybe placed in Christmas theme fabric bags with drawstring tops. Used attractive, decorative gift boxes and forego wrapping.
You Are Not Really Recycling Until You Buy Recycled
Many more quality products are being made with recycled content. From fleece jackets made with recycled plastic to shirts, shoes and most paper products. Recycled content products are widely available. Ask your retailer if you cannot find the product you want in recycled content.
Recycle Those Foam Peanuts
Usually a local mailbox or postal shipping store will take your foam peanuts for recycling. If you need to track down the nearest dealer, call "The Peanut Hotline" at 800-828-2214. If you are a retailer and want to participate in "The Peanut Hotline" and receive consumer peanuts, check out http://www.loosefillpackaging.com/hotline/.
Much of Christmas can be recycled!
Most cardboard is recyclable and there is a high demand for old cardboard. Use rechargeable batteries in all those electronic toys, cameras and gadgets. When your rechargeable nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, lithium ion, or small sealed lead battery no longer holds a charge, call the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation at 800-8-battery or use their web page at http://www.rbrc.org for the nearest battery recycling drop off. Unfortunately the high levels of ink and aluminum foils used in wrapping paper are not conducive to recycling.
Never burn Christmas wrapping in a fireplace. Do not burn Christmas trees in a fireplace. More holiday safety information is available from the Louisiana State Fire Marshall.

3.10: Decimal Comparison
Remember Julie and the ice cream stand? Well, right after she answered the customer's question in the last Concept, another customer came up with a new questions.
A second customer came in and wanted to know if the Small cone was larger than a Big Kid cone.
Here is the chart of cone sizes.
Big Kid cone = 2.25 inches
Small cone = 2.5 inches
Julie went to see Mr. Harris for help, but he just chuckled. "It is time to brush up on your measurement and decimals my dear," he said smiling.
Julie is puzzled and frustrated. Would you know what to say to the customers?
Pay attention and this Concept will teach you all that you need to know.
We just finished comparing metric lengths. All of the work that we did was with whole units of measurement. We compared which ones were greater than, less than or equal to. What if we had been working with decimals?
How can we compare decimals?
When we compare decimals, we are trying to figure out which part of a whole is greater. To do this, we need to think about the number one.
1 is a whole. All decimals are part of one.
The closer a decimal is to one, the larger the decimal is.
How can we figure out how close a decimal is to one?
This is a bit tricky, but if we look at the numbers and use place value we can figure it out.
.45 ______ .67
Here we have two decimals that both have the same number of digits in them. It is easy to compare decimals that have the same number of digits in them. Now we can look at the numbers without the decimal point. Is 45 or 67 greater? 67 is greater. We can say that sixty-seven hundredths is closer to one than forty-five hundredths. This makes sense logically if you think about it.
Our answer is .45 < .67.
Steps for Comparing Decimals
- If the decimals you are comparing have the same number of digits in them, think about the value of the number without the decimal point.
- The larger the number, the closer it is to one.
What do we do if the decimals we are comparing don't have the same number of digits?
.567 ______ .64
Wow, this one can be confusing. Five hundred and sixty-seven thousandths seems greater. After all it is thousandths. The tricky part is that thousandths are smaller than hundredths.
Is this true?
To test this statement let's look at a hundreds grid and a thousands grid.
Now it is easier to compare. You can see that .64 is larger than .567.
How can we compare without using a grid?
Sometimes, we don't have a grid to look at, what then?
We can add zeros to make sure that digit numbers are equal. Then we can compare.
.567 ______ .640
That made comparing very simple. 640 is larger than 567.
Our answer is that .567 < .640.
What about a decimal and a whole number?
3.4 ______ 3.56
First, we add in our zeros.
3.40 ______ 3.56
The whole number, 3 is the same, so we can look at the decimal. 40 is less than 56 so we can use our symbols to compare.
Our answer is 3.4 < 3.56.
Now that we know how to compare decimals, we can order them. Ordering means that we list a series of decimals according to size. We can write them from least to greatest or greatest to least.
.45, .32, .76
To write these decimals in order from least to greatest, we can start by comparing them. The greater a decimal is the closer it is to one whole. The smaller a decimal is the further it is from one whole. Just like when we compared decimals previously, the first thing we need to look at is the digit number in each decimal. These each have two digits in them, so we can compare them right away. Next, we can look at each number without the decimal and write them in order from the smallest to the greatest.
.32, .45, .76
32 is smaller than 45, 45 is greater than 32 but smaller than 76, 76 is the largest number
Our answer is .32, .45, .76
Now let's practice by comparing these decimals.
Example A

Now back to Julie and the ice cream cones. Have you figured out how to help her?
A second customer came in and wanted to know if the Small cone was larger than a Big Kid cone. Again, Julie didn't know what to say.
Here is the chart of cone sizes.
Big Kid cone = 2.25 inches
Small cone = 2.5 inches
Julie went to see Mr. Harris for help, but he just chuckled. "It is time to brush up on your measurement and decimals my dear," he said smiling.
The second customer wanted to know whether the Big Kid Cone was larger or smaller than the Small cone. These cones have measurements in decimals, so we need to compare the decimals.
Big Kid cone = 2.25
Small cone = 2.5
The whole number is the same, 2, so we can compare the decimal parts.
.25 and .50
.25 < .50
2.25 < 2.5
The Big Kid cone is smaller than the Small cone.
Julie is relieved. She now understands comparing decimals and measurement. Next time, she will be ready to answer any of the customer's questions.
Here are the vocabulary words in this Concept.
- Equivalent
- means equal
- Comparing
- using greater than, less than or equal to so that we can compare numbers
- Decimals
- a part of a whole represented by a number to the right of a decimal point
- Order
- writing numbers from least to greatest or greatest to least
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
Write these in order from greatest to least:
.45, .678, .23
Here we have two decimals with two digits and one decimal with three. We are going to need to create the same number of digits in all three decimals.
We can do this by adding zeros.
.450, .678, .230
Now we can write them in order from greatest to least.
Our answer is .23, .45, .678.

Today's topic at Denton HIgh School chess club was the King and Pawn vs. King draw and the Philidor's rook endgame. In each case, students tried the positions with partners then Dr. Root showed the correct patterns on the demonstration board. She also showed how the endgames are related to each other. This chess content is covered in People, Places, Checkmates: Teaching Social Studies with Chess. After learning these endgames, students had 15 minutes to play for fun.
And for the chess-player the success which crowns his work, the great dispeller of sorrows, is named "combination."

In 2008 the National Gallery of Australia recognises and celebrates the work of Richard Larter, one of Australia's most engaging and lively artists. The exhibition, which covers his artistic practice from the late 1950s through to the present, gives viewers the opportunity to engage with a spectrum of works that are at times provocative and dazzling, and at other times evocative and lyrical – but never dull.
Since the 1950s several themes have been present in Larter's work. These themes are conveyed in the exhibition, including an ongoing interest in the human body and sexuality, a fascination with popular culture, and a strong opposition to censorship, authority and the Vietnam War. His paintings often challenge the perceived boundaries between abstraction and figuration and between so-called high art and low art. This retrospective reveals Larter to be a remarkable colourist, a technical innovator and a painter of lyrical landscapes and radiant luminosity

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
Calla was formed in New York City in 1997 by Aurelio Valle (guitar, vocals), Sean Donovan (bass, keyboards, programming), and Wayne B. Magruder (percussion, programming). However, the band's origins can be traced to Texas in 1993, where Valle and Magruder began performing together in the Denton band the Factory Press. The band relocated to New York in 1995, recording The Smoky Ends of a Burnt out Day with producers Kid Congo Powers and Matt Verta-Ray. The group split in 1997 and the album was not released until early 1998, by which time Valle and Magruder were pursuing new musical ventures. Most notably, Magruder worked with Bowery Electric, Main, and Windsor for the Derby.
In 1997, former Factory Press studio collaborator Sean Donovan arrived from Texas and took up residence in Brooklyn with Valle and Magruder. The trio set about writing and recording and Calla was born. Donovan and Magruder -- who had previously worked together as the Fallen Vlods -- shaped Calla's creative process around sampling and programming, marking a shift away from the approach taken by the Factory Press. A four-track demo was completed in 1998, generating interest from the Brussels label Sub Rosa, which released the band's first album to critical acclaim in 1999. Calla's self-titled debut prized apart traditional song structures and reconfigured the components into subtly apocalyptic, cinematic pieces, at times evoking electronically processed Ennio Morricone soundscapes.
Calla subsequently made the transition to performance, a process that gave Valle, Magruder, and Donovan their first taste of playing together outside a studio environment. Playing live had a significant impact on the band's sound and direction. Having been excited by the debut album, Michael Gira was particularly impressed by the way Calla's music had been changed by live performance, and signed the group to his label, Young God Records. The band's first album on Young God, Scavengers (January 2001), marked a subtle change in orientation. Scavengers was less reliant on studio processing and although it displayed a familiar atmospheric minimalist sensibility, its textures coalesced into more conventional song formats. Understanding the mixture of indie rock and high-concept art that their music represented, Televise (January 2003) solidified their jagged indie pop sound. Collisions followed two years later. Calla went on tour in Europe the following year. Their fifth album, Strength in Numbers, was released in 2007.

Under the Clean Air Act and President Obama's Climate Change Plan, the Environmental Protection Agency announced its plan to cut carbon pollution from existing power plants. The final rule was released August 3, 2015.
Excerpt from proposed text:
In this action, the EPA is proposing emission guidelines for states to follow in developing plans to address greenhouse gas emissions from existing fo ssil fuel-fired electric generating units. Specifically, the EPA is proposing state-specific rate-based goals for carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector, as well as guidelines for states to follow in developing plans to achieve the state-specific goals. This rule, as proposed, would continue progress already underway to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired power plants in the United States.
1. Purpose of the regulatory action
This rule, as proposed, would continue progress already underway to lower the carbon intensity of power generation in the United States. Lower carbon intensity means fewer emissions of CO2, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. This proposal is a significant step forward in the EPA and states partnering to reduce GHG emissions in the U.S. The proposal incorporates critical elements that reflect the information and views shared during the unprecedented effort that the EPA has undertaken, beginning in the summer of 2013, to interact directly with, and solicit input from, a wide range of states and stakeholders. This effort encompassed several hundred meetings across the country with state environmental and energy officials, public utility commissioners, system operators, utilities and public interest advocates, as well as members of the public. Many participants submitted written material and data to the EPA as well.
Nationwide, by 2030, this rule would achieve CO2 emission reductions from the power sector of approximately 30 percent from CO2 emission levels in 2005.
This goal is achievable because innovations in the production, distribution and use of electricity are already making the power sector more efficient and sustainable while maintaining an affordable, reliable and diverse energy mix.
This proposed rule would reinforce and continue this progress. The EPA projects that, in 2030, the significant reductions in the harmful carbon pollution and in other air pollution, to which this rule would lead, would result in net climate and health benefits of $48 billion to $82 billion. At the same time, coal and natural gas would remain the two leading sources of electricity generation in the U.S., with each providing more than 30 percent of the projected generation.
Based on evidence from programs already being implemented by many states as well as input received from stakeholders, the agency recognizes that the most cost-effective system of emission reduction for GHG emissions from the power sector under CAA section 111(d) entails not only improving the efficiency of fossil fuel-fired EGUs, but also addressing their utilization by taking advantage of opportunities for lower-emitting generation and reduced electricity demand across the electricity system's interconnecting network or grid.
The proposed guidelines are based on and would reinforce the actions already being taken by states and utilities to upgrade aging electricity infrastructure with 21st century technologies. The guidelines would ensure that these trends continue in ways that are consistent with the long-term planning and investment processes already used in this sector, to meet both region- and state-specific needs.
The proposal provides flexibility for states to build upon their progress, and the progress of cities and towns, in addressing GHGs. It also allows States to pursue policies to reduce carbon pollution that: 1) continue to rely on a diverse set of energy resources, 2) ensure electric system reliability, 3) provide affordable electricity, 4) recognize investments that states and power companies are already making, and 5) can be tailored to meet the specific energy, environmental and economic needs and goals of each state. Thus, the proposed guidelines would achieve meaningful CO2 emission reduction while maintaining the reliability and affordability of electricity in the U.S.A.
Proposal elements
The proposal has two main elements: 1) state-specific emission rate-based CO2 goals and 2) guidelines for the development, submission and implementation of state plans. To set the state-specific CO2 goals, the EPA analyzed the practical and affordable strategies that states and utilities are already using to lower carbon pollution from the power sector. These strategies include improvements in efficiency at carbon-intensive power plants, programs that enhance the dispatch priority of, and spur private investments in, low emitting and renewable power sources, as well as programs that help homes and businesses use electricity more efficiently. In addition, in calculating each state's CO2 goal, the EPA took into consideration the state's fuel mix, its electricity market and numerous other factors. Thus, each state's goal reflects its unique conditions.
