CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead is planning to sue the Environmental Protection Agency for what he calls a lack of consideration for the state’s regional haze plan.

Mead told the Gillette News Record (https://tinyurl.com/lfsehhz ) Wyoming is as a state that is interested in energy and doing it right.

Earlier this year, the EPA released its final version of a plan to reduce atmospheric haze by cutting emissions from coal-fired power plants in Wyoming. Mead says utility customers would bear most of the costs.

EPA officials say the plan will improve visibility across wide-open spaces while protecting natural resources and local economies which depend on recreation.
