U.S. Senators Press EPA on Grid Reliability in New Rule

摘要

Two leading Senate Republicans wrote to the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) and the White House late last week to express concerns about the agency's forthcom-ing rule limiting air-toxics emissions from power plants. The rule was sent to the White House and other agencies for review on November 7, and is expected to be finalized in mid-December to comply with a consent decree that EPA signed with environmental and public health groups that had sued over the EPA's failure to set the standards, according to a November 15 Argus report.
