But critics say that move could generate a potential windfall for power producers. POLITICO’s Catherine Morehouse breaks down the messy fight.

EPA’s pollution plan hits coal plants: On Wednesday, EPA issued a new sweeping plan to curb pollution from power plants and manufacturing facilities across 23 states. The measure is the latest in a series of EPA regulations aimed at cutting down pollution and toxic waste from coal-fired power plants, and it’s likely to further shrink the nation’s fleet of coal-fired power generation. However, the regulation might face resistance from industry because of cost compliance and grid concerns. POLITICO’s Alex Guillén breaks down EPA’s latest rule and the pushback. Plus, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer slammed the House GOP’s energy agenda, calling it “as bad and partisan as it gets.” by POLITICO Energy

EPA tackles ‘forever chemicals’ in historic water proposal: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed the first-ever federal limits for toxic PFAS "forever chemicals" that are found in the drinking water of 200 million Americans. If finalized, the rule would mark the first major upgrade in the safety of the nation's drinking water in the past three decades. However, getting it across the finish line is far from certain, and the new safety measures would cost American households hundreds of millions of dollars. POLITICO's Annie Snider breaks down the cost and potential regulatory obstacles.
