It is interesting that out of the ~$90 billion of (supposed) annual benefits under the Utility MACT, roughly $71 billion (80%) is estimated for states also targeted by CSAPR!!!! All of these benefits are due to PM2.5 reductions, of course, since EPA can’t seem to accurately figure the benefits of mercury reductions (the main reason for the Utility MACT).

CSAPR’s annual benefits, which are also mostly related to PM2.5 reductions, are estimated to be $280 billion. There are 24 states covered by the PM2.5 portion of CASPR. So, according to EPA, those 24 states are going to see an extra ~$351 billion per year, all because of these two rules!!! The governors in each of those states should send Lisa Jackson and President Obama a thank you note…haha…
