- During the delay, these plants follow the older, less strict rules instead of the 2024 standards
- The White House says the needed technology is not ready and a fast switch could hurt steel supply and defense
- Supporters say this protects jobs and keeps steel projects on track; critics may worry about dirtier air nearby
