STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION COMMISSIONER AMANDA LEFTON ON EPA’S REPEAL OF POWER PLANT CLIMATE RULES

 

Department of Environmental Conservation

Coal and gas power plants are one of the largest sources of pollution in the United States. Today, at the expense of the health and well-being of the American people, the Trump Administration somehow chooses to look the other way. EPA has a responsibility to protect Americans from this dangerous pollution – and New York will never back down from protecting the health of our communities.
