Quick Glance: New EPA Rules Target Emissions Reduction at Power Plants
  • The Biden administration aims to compel coal-fired power plants to capture smokestack emissions or close down.

  • The rules target limiting greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel power plants and reducing toxic pollutants from coal-fired plants.

  • The plan includes measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, toxic wastewater pollutants, and safely manage coal ash.

  • The actions are expected to face opposition from industry groups and Republican-leaning states, while environmental groups see it as a crucial step in combating climate change.
