The Trump administration announced it's rolling back a rule on power plant emissions of the neurotoxin mercury. Reed Frazier reports it mainly affects pollution from plants that burn coal.
The rules were created by the Obama administration and cut mercury pollution 90 percent. A 2024 update mandated even more cuts. The Trump administration's rollback exempts plants from the newest standards, and the industry says the action will prevent more plant closures. But John Wolk of the Natural Resources Defense Council says plants will run pollution controls less.
