ESCAPE PLAN FOR COAL PLANTS? EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is ready to let coal-fired power plants off the hook for their contribution to climate change, based on a novel legal argument that the Clean Air Act bars him from further regulating carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants because a separate Obama-era regulation on toxic mercury emissions already applies to them, Pro's Alex Guillen reports, citing multiple sources with knowledge of his plan. That approach echoes a novel interpretation of the statute Pruitt leaned into as Oklahoma attorney general, but it would avoid an allout brawl over the established science on climate change.
