The EPA, led by Administrator Lee Zeldin, is proposing to repeal regulations that limit harmful pollutants from power plants, including mercury and greenhouse gases. This move aims to reduce operational costs and energy bills for American families, while aligning with the Trump administration's deregulatory agenda. Critics, including environmental groups, argue this rollback poses significant public health risks, particularly concerning mercury exposure. Public comments will be accepted before finalizing these proposals, which have drawn both support and significant opposition.
"These actions would result in saving over a billion dollars per year, something American families are demanding," Zeldin said at a press conference.
"Let's celebrate coal again," said Congressman Mike Rulli (R-Ohio) at the press conference.
