West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, is leading 24 other states in filing a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency over its new regulations for power plants.
The Marshall Steam Station coal power plant operates on March 3, 2024, near Mooresville, N.C. A rule issued April 24, 2024, by the Environmental Protection Agency would force power plants fueled by coal or natural to capture smokestack emissions or …
Plants that run more than 40% of the time would have to cut 90% of its emissions by that year. For those that operate at more than 40% capacity, smokestack emissions would need to be captured. Other parts of the rules include cuts in toxic metal emissions and wastewater pollution from coal-fired plants, along with more stringent management of the disposal of coal ash.
The agency said the climate and health benefits of the new rules substantially outweigh the compliance costs and would reduce up to 1,200 premature deaths, 870 hospital and emergency room visits, 360,000 cases of asthma, 48,000 school absences and 57,000 lost workdays by 2035.
