Oh. Too expensive, eh? Maybe all that money we're saving from #DOGE could go towards installing scrubbers or replacing them! (JK! #DOGESucks! #TaxTheRich!)

More Than 60 Power Plants Exempted From Federal #MercuryLimits

More stringent rules were scheduled to be enforced in 2027. Selected plants will now have two more years to comply.

By Dan Gearino

"Included in the #Trump administration’s order last week to boost the #coal industry was a two-year exemption to a rule that would have forced some of the nation’s most polluting power plants to reduce emissions of mercury and other air toxics.

"The ramifications of this exemption are beginning to sink in for people across the country who saw the mercury rule, updated and enhanced last year by the Biden administration, as a crucial part of reducing the harm of these power plants.

"The Environmental Protection Agency [#EPA] published a list of 47 plant owners and more than 60 plants that now have additional time to meet mercury and air toxics standards (MATS) that were set to become more stringent in 2027.

"The actions are part of a broader agenda in which the Trump administration aims to use executive orders to cut environmental regulations and increase electricity generation, mainly from #FossilFuels.

" 'The Trump administration has created an illegal special exemption by which polluters can go to the president and request a ‘get out of jail free’ card when it comes to the Clean Air Act,' said Howard Learner, CEO and executive director of the Environmental Law & Policy Center, a Chicago-based advocacy group that works throughout the Midwest. 'That’s legally irresponsible; it’s bad policy, and it will really harm people as a result of more pollution.'

"The exempted plants are in 23 states and include some of the country’s leading #polluters, such as the #JamesHMillerPlant in #Alabama, owned by Southern Co., and the #LabadiePlant in #Missouri, owned by #AmerenCorp.

"Many of the plants are old, such as the #TennesseeValleyAuthority’s #ShawneePlant in #Kentucky, whose oldest generating unit began operating in 1953.

"A few are relatively new, such as the #DryForkStation in #Wyoming, which opened in 2011 and is owned by #BasinElectric Power Cooperative.

"The list consists mostly of #CoalPlants, but also includes a few properties that burn #gas or #petroleum."

If anyone is a University of Kentucky alumni, student, or fan - I'm inviting you to participate in an email blast on April 24th. UK cut graduation celebrations for LGBTQ+, black and first-generation students in their ongoing purge of diversity, equity and inclusion.

One Day for UK is their annual ask for donations - we need to tell them NO and WHY. Even if you've never donated and never will, alumni money and reputation are all they care about. I know I won't be recommending UK to other first generation students anymore.

Blue background with white text: TELL UK NO DIVERSITY = NO DOLLARS. At the bottom of the page is a Class of 2025 emblem with a red X over it.
Lavender Graduation Ceremony - CANCELLED Harambe Unity Graduation Celebration- CANCELLED First-Generation Student Pinning Ceremony - CANCELLED WHY SUPPORT UK WHEN UK DOESN'T SUPPORT US?
EMAIL ukpr@uky.edu and annualgiving@uky.edu LET THEM KNOW NO DEI = NO DOLLARS IF THEY WANT TRUMP TO RUN CAMPUS, THEY CAN MAKE HIM PAY FOR IT! This page features an outline of a group of graduates. Three caps fly into the air with red Xes over them.
SHARE WHY YOU'RE NOT GIVING WITH THE HASHTAG #OneDayForUK DONATE TO YOUR FAVORITE NONPROFIT OR MUTUAL AID FUND INSTEAD WE HAVE THE DOLLARS WE HAVE THE POWER At the bottom is line art of three hands holding up rolled up diplomas.

My village had a festival so i opened my studio to “the public” for a free #printmaking activity. We repurposed a linen tablecloth, it brought lots of people joy, and these log cabin patches will hopefully be incorporated in future #craft #sewing projects!

That was a lot of fun and a lot of people at once. I’m grateful to get to share what I love with others-and also ready for solitude with books and art supplies. Hope you are having a good weekend!
