You are a fool because you didn't expend any effort before dismissing.

Yes, on March 12, 2025 the EPA published that press release.

But a non-fool would search the CFR to see if any proposed rules had been published.

Almost exactly one month after that press release the EPA started releasing draft rules revoking the previous administration's rejections of regional haze reduction programs and approving them instead.

Here's a draft rule revoking the disapproval West Virginia's plan and approving it: https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-06608.pdf

Then you have to actually READ what West Virginia's haze reduction plan does: it removes the previous requirements to install additional post-combustion controls on various coal-fired power plants in the state in order to reduce emissions.

The rule was approved last month.

And the same thing is happening in other states.

"We're reconsidering an implementation" is bureaucratese for "that shit's done, yo".

Jesus fucking Christ this country is doomed because it's full of idiots who won't expend any energy whatsoever to figure out what's going on.
