68 m. ago Trump’s pollution rollback rewards wealthy plant owners — at the expense of Americans’ health

Proposals this week to weaken EPA restrictions will help tiny group of owners while ‘the American people will breathe dirtier air’Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claimed on Wednesday that its plan to eviscerate power plant pollution standards will save the US about $1bn a year.
