Trump Administration Wants To Roll Back Mercury Emissions Limit

Description

According to Reuters, the Trump administration wants to roll back limits on mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. The administration believes they are not necessary, and that the costs for maintaining compliance outweigh the benefits. The announcement sparked outcries from environmentalist groups, because the limitations were put in place for public health. The Obama administration put limits on mercury emissions because they can harm pregnant women, while putting infants and children at risk. The Mercury and Air Toxic Standards are the latest Obama-era regulations which the Trump administration will bring to an end.

  • Trump Gave Secret Service Protections To His Kids Before Leaving Office

    Former President Donald Trump granted extended Secret Service protections to his four adult children. This is also extended to their spouses, according to Business Insider. He made this move before he left the White House in a last effort of wielding power. This expensive, full-time security detail is an unexpected move for most. The extended security detail could cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Given the amount of traveling that the Trump children do, the cost could be astronomical.
