HERBERT A. WAGNER GENERATING STATION
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court on Monday struck down the Environmental Protection Agency’s first-ever national standards for limiting emissions of mercury and other toxic air pollution from coal- and oil-fired power plants.
Environmental activists expressed disappointment with the ruling. “The Court’s decision to let polluters off the hook is a huge setback for our kids’ health,” says Anna Aurilio, director of Environment America’s Washington, D.C., office.
However, the National Mining Association, a critic of EPA’s regulation, called the court’s ruling a “vindication of common sense that is missing in much of the Administration’s regulatory actions.”
