(AP) — A federal judge in West Virginia has ordered the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reverse decades of regulatory practice and begin continually evaluating how many power plants and coal mining jobs are lost because of air pollution regulations.
The Register-Herald (http://bit.ly/2edH5jg ) reports that U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey ruled Monday that the EPA is required by law to analyze the economic impact on a continuing basis when enforcing the Clean Air Act.
