NW 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. Dear Administrator Browner, I am writing to urge the U.S. EPA to take immediate steps to limit mercury pollution from coal-fired power plants. Every other major known source of mercury and other air toxics has been subject to regulations under the Clean Air Act. Yet, unlike these other companies, no regulations currently apply to air toxics emissions from electric power companies. You have the necessary evidence in hand to move forward with developing air toxics regulations for electric power companies.
Mercury contamination is widespread.
A vital source of our food supply is contaminated, and millions of women and children, as well as wildlife, are at risk from eating contaminated fish. Technologies are available to dramatically reduce mercury releases into the air, at costs significantly lower than initially estimated. You have an opportunity to continue your legacy of protecting current and future generations by overcoming industry pressure in order to protect the health of people and wildlife. Sincerely, Don't forget to sign the letter. To sign, type your name, organization, address, city, state, and zip at the end of the letter.
