EPA Reverses Environmental Rules, Connecticut Fights Back

The Environmental Protection Agency has made significant changes to environmental rules, including scrapping the 2009 endangerment finding on greenhouse gases and easing air quality limits for coal-fired power plants. These changes remove federal emission controls for vehicles made after 2012 and eliminate credits for certain fuel-saving technologies. The agency also repealed stricter standards on mercury and other toxins from coal plants. Environmental advocates and health groups in Connecticut are opposing these changes, joining a federal lawsuit and urging the state to maintain tougher rules on vehicles and plants to meet emission goals by 2030. The state is concerned about rising temperatures, intense storms, and increasing emissions, which have led to climate costs of nearly one billion dollars nationwide and could worsen asthma and other illnesses.
