EPA power-plant pollution hearings continue in Denver

DENVER (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency is holding its second day of hearings in Denver on its new rules for cutting power-plant pollution.

Utility and coal company representatives said the rules were unclear and unreasonable, and they warned that jobs and communities could suffer. Renewable-energy executives said their industry will bring jobs, profits and innovations

States would have wide latitude in choosing how to meet the administration’s goals. That leaves an uncertain fate for some of the West’s large coal-fired power plants

Wednesday’s hearing runs until 8 p.m.

The EPA is also holding hearings on the rules in Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Washington this week.
