The Mercury Rule

From CREDO Action:

The EPA announced that it has finalized The Mercury Rule, one of the most important updates to the Clean Air Act in the Act's 40 year history.

This rule will finally put strict limits on the amount of the potent neurotoxin mercury, and other toxic air pollution, which outdated coal burning power plants presently pump into our air in unlimited quantities.

This is a major victory for environmentalists and public health advocates and a big defeat for big polluters, who fought hard to torpedo this rule.

Now, President Obama and the EPA will be under tremendous continued pressure to delay implementation of the rule. But we can't wait any longer to be protected from this unlimited toxic pollution.

Thank President Obama and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson for finalizing this rule, and urge them to strongly implement it without delay.

Either that or ask yourself, "How long can I hold my breath?"
