Environment - More on: Former IDEM Air Chief goes to Washington
Updating this ILB entry from Oct. 29, 2009, here is a clip from The Hill's Oversight about a hearing taking place today in DC:
State of play: A top Environmental Protection Agency official will face off Wednesday with industry officials who have raised concerns that pending air-pollution rules will threaten power grid reliability by forcing the closure of a slew of power plants.Janet McCabe, principal deputy assistant administrator for air and radiation at the EPA, will speak at the second day of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) conference on the effect of EPA regulations on reliability.
EPA has strongly defended its pending power plant air-pollution rules against Republican claims that they could place a heavy strain on the electric grid.
