Attacks on public health defeated—for now.

The coal lobby and their allies are trying to block the EPA from protecting public health, but we’ve held the line against some of their worst attacks: In March, the U.S. Senate rejected a bill that would have blocked standards for soot, mercury and carbon pollution. In April, the Senate defeated four more bills that would have blocked the EPA from cutting air pollution. In November, the Senate defeated a bill that would have endangered up to 34,000 lives each year by allowing more soot and smog-forming pollution from power plants. We need your help to keep up the fight.
