EPA eliminates rule that limits planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants
The Environmental Protection Agency has repealed rules that limited greenhouse gas emissions from coal and natural gas power plants. The agency also took steps to prevent future administrations from creating similar climate regulations. A greenhouse gas emissions standard for power plants from the Biden administration has been partially repealed, with potential for further regulatory rollbacks ahead.
