Today and Wednesday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is hosting hearings in Atlanta on its controversial proposed rules aimed at reducing pollution from power plants. Today, an environmental advocate says the changes will create cleaner, healthier air for Georgians and create jobs in the process. Another writer says that, if enacted, the rules would cost Georgians heavily in terms of both power costs and economic growth, with the poorest Georgians being among the most affected. Read even more opinions about the proposed rules at MyAJC.com and ajc.com.
