EPA scraps Biden coal restrictions, and advocates say move will restore American dominance
Fox News
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announces rollback of Biden-era mercury regulations for coal plants, with energy groups praising the move as vital for American energy dominance.
Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"The Biden-Harris Administration’s anti-coal regulations sought to regulate out of existence this vital sector of our energy economy. If implemented, these actions would have destroyed reliable American energy," Zeldin said, adding that protecting the environment and supporting industry and baseload power is not a "binary choice." He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
In response, Power the Future founder Daniel Turner told Fox News Digital the move is a significant step toward revitalizing the American coal industry and, in turn, fueling economies in economically depressed industrial communities throughout Appalachia and beyond.
