By Dan Gearino April 16, 2025"Included in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> administration’s order last week to boost the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/coal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coal</a> industry was a two-year exemption to a rule that would have forced some of the nation’s most polluting power plants to reduce emissions of mercury and other air toxics. "The ramifications of this exemption are beginning to sink in for people across the country who saw the mercury rule, updated and enhanced last year by the Biden administration, as a crucial part of reducing the harm of these power plants. "The Environmental Protection Agency [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPA</a>] published a list of 47 plant owners and more than 60 plants that now have additional time to meet mercury and air toxics standards (MATS) that were set to become more stringent in 2027. "The actions are part of a broader agenda in which the Trump administration aims to use executive orders to cut environmental regulations and increase electricity generation, mainly from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFuels</a>."

'That’s legally irresponsible; it’s bad policy, and it will really harm people as a result of more pollution.'"The exempted plants are in 23 states and include some of the country’s leading <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/polluters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polluters</a>, such as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JamesHMillerPlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JamesHMillerPlant</a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Alabama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alabama</a>, owned by Southern Co., and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LabadiePlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LabadiePlant</a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Missouri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Missouri</a>, owned by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmerenCorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmerenCorp</a>."Many of the plants are old, such as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TennesseeValleyAuthority" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TennesseeValleyAuthority</a>’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ShawneePlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShawneePlant</a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kentucky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kentucky</a>, whose oldest generating unit began operating in 1953.

The last is targeted for closure in 2032, when federal rules kick in that require 90% capture of carbon emissions.But Arizona’s intense summer heat puts a strain on the supply of electricity, and power companies have long turned to older, dirtier technology when demand peaks.At issue are Environmental Protection Agency standards known as the MATS rule, part of the Clean Air Act, which President Richard Nixon signed in 1970. Congress updated it in 1977 and 1990.The Apache Generating Station’s waiver allows its owner and operator, Arizona Electric Power Cooperative, to comply with the 2012 version of the federal standards rather than stricter caps issued by the EPA in April 2024.The MATS rule was originally aimed at coal-burning plants. The EPA has expanded it to apply to natural gas; Apache, a 408-megawatt plant about 80 miles east of Tucson, uses both.Natural gas generates far less toxic material and particulate matter than coal. But it does create carbon dioxide, and the Biden administration also issued rules aimed at curbing those greenhouse emissions.[Next section talks about how UPGRADES ARE EXPENSIVE! THEN HAVE BILLIONAIRES PAY FOR THEM! OR REPLACEMENT ENERGY SOURCES!]"President Donald Trump signed an order shortly after taking office that rolled back Biden-era EPA regulations. In April, he signed multiple executive orders promoting coal."His cost-cutting effort, led by billionaire Elon Musk, has also aggressively curtailed the EPA’s staff and mission."Read more: <a href="https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2025/04/21/arizona-coal-plant-epa-exemption-new-toxic-air-pollution-cap/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2025/04/21/arizona-coal-plant-epa-exemption-new-toxic-air-pollution-cap/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BadDOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadDOGE</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AirIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AirIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MercuryPoisoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MercuryPoisoning</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ToxicAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ToxicAir</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DirtyCoal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DirtyCoal</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CoalMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoalMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a>
