HOUSTON—Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin’s March 12 announcement that he will “reconsider” power plant regulations adopted under the Biden administration is welcome news to the nation’s $28 billion coal-producing industry, mine operators said March 13 at CERAWeek by S&P Global.
“Coal is not going away,” Alliance Resource Partners Senior Vice President for Sales and Marketing Timothy Whelan said. “I feel a lot better sitting here today than I did 12 months ago.”
