Coal Plants Get Mercy from Mercury Emission Crackdown
Published Date: 6/17/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The EPA wants to undo some recent changes to pollution rules for coal- and oil-fired power plants, especially those about tiny particles and mercury emissions. This affects power plants that burn coal or oil and could change how they prove they’re following the rules. The move might save some money and give plants more time to meet clean air goals.
