Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains National Park are increasingly under attack from air pollution -- and the source is our dirty coal plants and refineries and pollution from surrounding states.
The Clean Air Act requires the State of Texas and EPA to reduce and eliminate this haze. Under EPA's proposed rule, however, Texas's oldest and dirtiest power plants would be exempted from installing readily-available, modern pollution controls -- instead they could purchase emissions allowances from states as far away as Minnesota and South Carolina. These purchases won't help Big Bend or Guadalupe or clean up the air that Texans breathe.
Please submit your comments to protect Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains National Park from air pollution.
