Acting under federal court order, the Obama administration proposed new air-quality rules on Tuesday for coal-burning power plants that officials said would bring major reductions in soot and smog from Texas to the Eastern Seaboard.
...The cost of compliance to utilities and other operators of smog-belching power plants would be $2.8 billion a year, according to E.P.A. estimates.
EPA also estimated that "health savings" would be $120Bn per year. They made up the numbers, of course, apparently with the 'dartboard method' favored by Gummints who don't have a clue.
