As my colleague John Walke eloquently explains, the EPA is taking action today that -- if polluters and their cohorts in Congress don't get in the way -- will save tens of thousands of lives and prevent hundreds of thousands of cases of respiratory illness.

Today, the EPA announced the most important actions to clean up air pollution from dirty coal-burning power plants since the Clean Air Act was last updated in 1990.

EPA’s proposed mercury and air toxics standards for power plants that burn coal and oil are projected to save as many as 17,000 American lives every year by 2015. These standards also will prevent up to 120,000 cases of childhood asthma symptoms, and there will be 11,000 fewer cases of acute bronchitis among children every year.
