Board endorses Montana mercury rule

October 11, 2006

A rule has been passed in Montana that would limit mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants.

There is a debate regarding two different types of coal, one which produces more mercury than the other. Some argue that it wouldn't be necessary to reduce the emissions of the lower-producing one since it is easier to clean up, but not all scientists agree.

The plan should take full effect by 2018, when only one third of the mercury produced today would be acceptable.

There are currently five coal-fired power plants in the state of Montana.
