EPA Rollbacks and Rising Pollution: Josh Mogerman Breaks It Down

Debby Monterrey talks with Josh Mogerman, Managing Director of Media and Public Affairs at the Natural Resources Defense Council, about major environmental policy shifts. The discussion focuses on the rollback of the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding and broader actions by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Trump administration. They break down how these changes could impact air quality, including increased emissions from coal plants across Missouri and the St. Louis region. Mogerman highlights concerns around sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, with specific attention to the Labadie coal plant along the Missouri River near Six Flags St. Louis.
