The West Virginia Coal Association will be re-launching it’s EPA Contact Tool to gather public comments on the agency’s proposed existing source standards for coal-fired power plants. We expect the tool to be re-launched early next week and it will provide a place for the public to send comments to the EPA regarding the job-destroying rule.
Look for an announcement on the re-launch in your email next week along with a link to the tool.
The EPA’s proposed standards for existing coal-fired power plants threatens hundreds of thousands of jobs across the county and will drive up electric prices by as much as 50-100 percent in some places.
Public groups from across the political spectrum, from labor unions to utilities, from citizens groups to coal companies have decried the rule as harmful to both the nation and to individual people – particularly those on fixed incomes and the poor.
