Industry and EPA agree that it would cost electricity ratepayers almost $10 billion per year, making it one of the most expensive regulations ever. Worse, it would effectively ban the construction of new coal-fired power plants, by establishing mercury emissions limits that are a third of detectable levels. Because pollution control equipment vendors cannot even measure the emissions limit required by the Utility MACT, they cannot offer a guarantee that new coal-fired power plants will be in compliance with the regulation. And without such a guarantee, utilities are unable to raise capital to build new coal-fired electricity generating units. [...] [...] EPA’s Utility MACT, simply put, is an affront to common sense.
