NEW: @EPA is about to change a rule cutting mercury pollution, which causes neurological damage in children. Industry doesn't want it. W/ @brady_dennishttps://wapo.st/2wsGGWh
A few items worth noting: many of the utilities who now want the mercury rule to stay as is once fought it in court. But they are now worried that after EPA declares it's unjustified, outside groups can challenge their right to recoup the costs of installing pollution controls.
Many power companies have spread out the cost of their investment in new technology, which amounted to nearly a billion dollars for some of them, over more than a decade.
Some experts, as well as utility industry officials, also expect a coal company or conservative group to petition a federal judge to scrap the rule after EPA finalizes its revisions on the grounds that it was never warranted in the first place.
And even if this does not happen, power companies in some states, such as Pennsylvania, might decide to stop running their pollution controls once EPA determines that the mercury rule was not justified.
hey @FLOTUS Look! Be Best for children!!
She doesn’t care
Doesn't get much more shortsighted than this one.
Wait a few minutes.
Bad policy and bad law, as we explained here when this nonsense was proposed last yearhttps://eelp.law.harvard.edu/2019/03/rolling-back-the-mercury-and-air-toxics-standards-proposed-withdrawal-of-appropriate-and-necessary/ …
Only in Red states. I am sure California won’t allow that to happen. Take that to @lisamurkowski ‘s state!
