The Biden administration has restored the legal justification for regulating releases of toxic mercury from coal- and oil-fired power plants after the Trump administration made the rule easier to challenge in court. 

 

In 2020 the Trump administration undercut the legal basis for limiting emissions of mercury and other toxic substances like arsenic from the plants. 

 

The Trump administration did not change the substance of the rule itself, but made it more open to court challenges from industry.
