EPA repeals greenhouse gas emission limits for coal and gas power plants
The Trump administration's EPA announced the repeal of Biden-era rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions from coal and gas power plants, estimating over $300 billion in savings for industry. The agency also proposed a separate rule to prevent future administrations from regulating power plant carbon emissions. Environmental groups and Democratic officials criticized the move and legal challenges are expected.
