Although many will not be able to attend next Thursday’s two nationwide public hearings held by the Environmental Protection Agency, more than one-million collected comments will have been submitted to the EPA—with more than 31,000 coming from Virginia.  The public hearings address the EPA’s proposed Carbon Pollution Standard for new industrial power plants. As Virginia Public Radio’s Tommie McNeil reports, supporters celebrated the regulations with a small gathering in Richmond to discuss their significance.
