EPA proposes cuts from power plants

摘要

The EPA now is accepting public comments on an interstate air quality proposal that would result in the deepest cuts in sulfur dioxide (SO_2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from power plants in more than a decade. Meanwhile, the agency also has proposed options for controlling mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. Together, the two proposals call for the largest single investment in any clean air program in United States history.
