“In recent years we have learned more about the dangerous health effects of coal and gas pollution. We now know that these dirty fuels cause heart disease and strokes, worsen asthma, increase the risk of dangerous birth outcomes, and likely cause learning and neurological problems. I hope the EPA will enact the strongest possible pollution standards to protect our health and reduce health costs.”
