On Wednesday, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed strengthening
a successful yet contentious Obama-era rule limiting toxic pollutants,
like mercury, from coal-fired power plants. POLITICO’s Alex Guillén
breaks down the details of the updated rule, the potential impact on the
nation’s already shrinking fleet of coal plants, and how the rule fits
into the Biden administration’s broader climate agenda. Plus, an appeals
court dismissed a lawsuit from Louisiana and other Republican-controlled
states challenging the Biden administration’s social cost of carbon.
