The Environmental Protection Agency requires coal-fired power plants in the United States to reduce 90% of their greenhouse pollution by 2039, a year earlier than proposed, potentially marking the end of coal usage in the country as a major fuel source.
Additional regulations focusing on limiting mercury emissions, toxic ash seepage, and wastewater discharge from coal plants accompany the new rules, aiming to address environmental damage caused by coal usage.
