EPA Cooks The Books On Industrial Pollution Costs
- •The EPA has announced it will no longer calculate the human health costs associated with fossil fuel pollution in the United States.
- •This policy shift could reduce the perceived societal cost of fossil fuel-derived energy, potentially altering the economic calculus for new fossil fuel projects.
- •For developers, this may subtly impact the competitive landscape by obscuring a key externalized cost of fossil generation, while large power consumers might see less regulatory pressure or fewer incentives tied to the health impacts of their energy sources.
