It was a provisional victory for the Biden administration, whose climate initiatives have been stymied. A challenge to the rule at issue is still moving through a lower court.

I'll note that a Trump administration would likely repeat its previous actions, and roll back these rules.

Cool, now can we have coal power plants be required to measure and describe the types of particulates they emit?

Because we know from studies that coal plants emit radioactive dust into the air simply as a byproduct of burning coal. They add more radioactivity to the environment than a nuclear power plant, and it's in the worst form.

That should be required to be disclosed officially, tracked, and monitored.

I was curious about this and evidently there's some disagreement. Study from the European Parliament says it creates more radioactivity than a nuclear plant to produce the same amount of energy. Meanwhile the US EPA says it's trace amounts that are similar to the levels seen in existing soil. Anyone have good sources either way?
