Environmental Protection Agency has rolled back dozens of rules designed to fight pollution.

This week , CBS News visited a Houston neighborhood that's near an NRG Energy coal-fired power plant.

A 2018 study from Rice University found that pollution from the NRG plant contributes to 177 premature deaths per year.
