Pass a state law or regulation that requires substantial reductions in mercury or toxic pollution from the power sector and support the new federal air pollution regulations.
Why is this important?
Kentucky is number one on a list of the states with the most toxic air pollution from power plants. Nearly 80 percent of the air pollution comes from power plants that burn coal and oil. The three most pollution plants are the Paradise Fossil Plant in western Kentucky, the Big Sandy plant in eastern Kentucky and the Mill Creek Generating Station in Louisville.
