The Environmental Protection Agency finalized new regulations to limit downwind smog pollution from coal-fired power plants and other industrial facilities under the Clean Air Act's"good neighbor" provision.
"By and large, we have set the requirements so that will either see installation of NOx control equipment or full-time operation of that equipment where it's already installed," the official told reporters. "This is also about fairness," said EPA Administrator Michael Regan."Some states have done all they can do to control ozone pollution, and their counterparts that are up-wind are being asked to do the same, to be respectful of those state boundaries and not push pollution across state boundaries."
President Joe Biden's environmental agenda prioritizes improved air quality, and the Biden administration seeks to ultimately move the power sector toward phasing out coal-fired electricity generation.
