trade group was the one who set up the system. The White House reviewed the requests. The White House approved them. The legal justification was “national security”. The Clean Air Act does have a presidential exemption clause, but it had never been used this way before in U.S. history.

To invoke it, the president has to certify that the industry is essential to national security AND that the technology needed to comply simply doesn’t exist. Multiple utilities had already publicly said they were installing the required pollution controls. The technology exists.

They were already doing it. The exemptions were given to mostly coal power plants (71 of them), more than any other category. Medical sterilization facilities emitting carcinogenic ethylene oxide. Oil refineries, copper smelters and chemical plants.
