US EPA Waives Power Plant Emission Limits, Reversing 2024 Rules
ClarínLO·US·1 day ago
The EPA is expected to rescind decarbonization rules for coal and gas plants, reversing Biden-era climate policy. The move comes amid rising fuel prices from Middle East tensions, testing the Trump administration's promise of abundant, affordable energy. This signals a policy shift that could increase fossil fuel reliance and affect energy markets.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has formally rescinded greenhouse gas emission limits for coal and natural gas power plants, reversing prior federal climate policy. This action, largely confirmed by multiple high-confidence sources, aligns with the Trump administration's deregulatory agenda and is expected to increase US emissions. Legal challenges are highly probable.
