Regulating Mercury: What's at Stake?
Posted: 26 Oct 2005
Abstract
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a new rule regulating mercury emissions from power plants. But is the rule sensible?
The best way to answer this question is to tote up the benefits and costs of the rule and compare them. The EPA did not do such an exercise when it issued its proposed rule, so we did our own analysis.
