Pro & Con: Should the EPA issue stronger limits on mercury emissions?
In this mention
An op-ed debate on EPA mercury emissions limits for coal-fired power plants. Dr. Yolanda Whyte, a pediatrician and SACE volunteer, argues that stricter mercury limits are crucial for protecting children's health, citing the 20,000+ pounds of mercury emitted annually by Southeast coal plants. Chris Hobson of Southern Co. counters that the proposed rule is economically burdensome and would produce only minimal risk reduction.
