However , in the analysis responding to the Jeffords / Lieberman request that had NOx , SO2 , mercury and CO2 reduction levels similar to S. 556 , we found significant approximately a 20-30 percent decline of coal generation and a 30-50 percent increase in electricity prices compared to the reference case ( depending on assumptions of energy technology penetration ) .
The increase of NOx , SO2 , mercury and CO2 will decrease electricity prices .
