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.”
