Cracking Down on Mercury

For the second time in two years, New Hampshire lawmakers are weighing a bill that would reduce mercury emissions at the state’s coal burning power plants. The newest proposal has wide ranging support from the Governor to PSNH to several environmental groups. But not everyone is happy with the plan. We'll look at what the new proposal says and ask why critics think it's not tough enough. Laura is joined by Bob Scott, Director of the Air Resources Division at the Department of Environmental Services, Terry Large, PSNH's lead negotiator for the mercury reduction bill, and Nancy Girard, Vice President at the Conservation Law Foundation. We will also hear from Representative Larry Ross, Republican from Peterborough and sponsor of the mercury reduction bill.
