No Impact to Clean Power Plan Expected After High Court Mercury Ruling, EPA Says

摘要

The Supreme Court's recent decision on the Environmental Protection Agency's mercury and air toxics standards (MATS) will have no impact on its soon-to-be-released final carbon pollution limits for existing power plants, Administrator Gina McCarthy said July 7. McCarthy, speaking at a Christian Science Monitor event, acknowledged she was "disappointed" by the court's June 29 ruling that the agency should have considered costs earlier in the regulatory process, but said the EPA might be able to implement a "very simple" fix at the appeals court level.
