The Bush administration’s weakened regulations may save the power industry hundreds of millions of dollars—yet another instance of its characteristically lax laws with regard to big industry—but they won’t be able to address the real harm quickly enough. Without requiring across-the-board regulation, there will still be mercury build-up and concentrated areas of pollution; the substance will continue to taint our waters and affect our population...
