The Trump administration has proposed a major weakening of the environmental protections covering mercury, a toxic chemical produced by coal-burning power plants. Andrew Wheeler, a former coal company lobbyist who now is the acting administrator of the E.P.A., will be sending the proposal to the White House for approval.
Mercury is known to damage the nervous systems of children and fetuses. Excuse me. Wrong word. Unborn children.
Maybe the White House will turn down the proposal.
