PM2.5 junk science was instrumental to the Obama administration’s destruction of the coal industry. But that junk science will no longer fly at the EPA… thanks in large part to the work of BURN MORE COAL co-founder Steve Milloy. In a draft letter posted last week, the EPA’s Clean Air Act Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) trashes the Clinton-Bush-Obama era PM2.5 junk science.

EPA proposes to end ban on new coal plants

Steve Milloy | Thursday, December 6, 2018 · 5:25 PM | EPA

If finalized, new coal plants will just need to have best available emissions technology, not the imaginary — as well as physically, financially and politically impossible — utility scale carbon capture and sequestration technology that the Obama EPA set as a barrier to new coal plant construction in the US.
