EPA Proposes Repeal of Power Plant GHG Rules, Rescinds 2015 Endangerment Finding

The U.S. EPA is supplementing its proposal to repeal all GHG emission standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants, arguing that Clean Air Act Section 111 does not authorize regulation for climate change. This would rescind the 2015 endangerment finding, a reversal of established climate policy. The move signals a major regulatory shift, but faces legal challenges and uncertainty over final adoption.
