"In rejecting health concerns from Maryland and Delaware, the acting EPA head, a former coal lobbyist, is continuing Scott Pruitt's pro-fossil-fuel policies."
"Delaware and Maryland have been pleading for years with the Environmental Protection Agency to help address the smog pollution they say is blowing across their borders from coal-fired power plants in other states and making their residents sick.
The Trump EPA just said no.
The 111-page notice of denial from the agency shows that Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler, a former coal industry lobbyist, is following in the fossil fuel-friendly policy direction set by his predecessor, Scott Pruitt, while being more cautious to spell out the agency's legal reasoning."
Marianne Lavelle reports for InsideClimate News September 17, 2018.
