The Trump administration's EPA has set up a controversial email system for fossil fuel companies to request exemptions from Clean Air Act regulations. This unprecedented move allows operators of heavily polluting power plants to easily bypass strict pollution control requirements, despite the severe health risks posed by toxins such as mercury and arsenic. The process not only undermines existing environmental laws but also highlights Trump's alignment with fossil fuel interests, evidenced by substantial campaign contributions from the industry, while disregarding scientific consensus on climate change.
Trump's administration has allowed fossil fuel companies to bypass Clean Air Act regulations by simply emailing for exemptions, raising concerns about public health and environmental safety.
The EPA established a new process for companies to request exemptions from air pollution regulations, reflecting a broader agenda to dismantle environmental protections in favor of fossil fuel interests.
