Trump exempts nearly 70 coal plants from Biden-era rule on mercury and other toxic air pollution

Trump exempts nearly 70 coal plants from emissions rule

The Trump administration has granted nearly 70 coal-fired power plants a two-year exemption from federal requirements to reduce emissions of toxic chemicals such as mercury, arsenic and benzene. A roster posted quietly as of Tuesday on the Environmental Protection Agency’s website lists at least 66 coal-fired plants that are receiving exemptions from Biden-era rules under the Clean Air Act. The actions follow an executive order last week by President Donald Trump aimed at boosting the struggling coal industry. Among plants receiving exemptions is the massive Colstrip Generating Station in Montana. It is a leading source of toxic air pollutants such as lead and arsenic.
