EPA Says It Will Delay Water Pollution Rules For Coal Plants [1]

"The Trump administration says that it plans to delay and potentially loosen water pollution rules for coal-fired power plants.

In a press release, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said Monday that it will “propose to extend compliance deadlines” for some of the requirements in a Biden-era regulation.

The agency also said that it “intends to explore other flexibilities to promote reliable and affordable power generation” but did not specify which parts of the rule it will consider loosening."
