Coal news and updates

Connecticut is among 22 states suing the Trump Administration over new coal rules.

 

In June, the EPA eliminated the agency’s “Clean Power Plan” and restrictions on coal-powered plants.

 

The lawsuit says that violates the federal Clean Air Act because it does not meaningfully replace power plant’ greenhouse gas emissions.

 

State Attorney General William Tong said the rollback will prolong the nation’s reliance on coal while obstructing progress on clean energy generation.
