Colstrip coal plant sees regulations removed.

(Colstrip) President Donald Trump has lifted regulations on nearly 70 coal-fired power plants, including the Colstrip generating station in Montana. This action exempts these plants from federal requirements for two years.

Republican lawmakers have shown support for these changes, emphasizing the impact on local jobs and energy production.

Critics say that the Colstrip plant in particular emits more toxic air pollutants than any other facility of its kind in the United States.
