Description
The Environmental Protection Agency has issued new rules that would
force hundreds of chemical plants across the country to reduce the
cancer-linked chemicals they emit into the air – an important part of
the Biden administration’s environmental justice agenda. But pushback
from industry and legal challenges are expected. POLITICO’s Alex Guillén
breaks down the public health and climate benefits of the rule and the
likely opposition. Plus, the Interior Department released a final rule
increasing how much money it charges companies to produce oil and gas on
federal land for the first time in decades.
