EPA Proposes Ending Greenhouse Gas Rules for Power Plants
The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency says power plant emissions have no material impact on climate change, according to a report from Ars Technica.
The Environmental Protection Agency under the Trump administration has moved to eliminate remaining greenhouse gas regulations for power plants, according to a report published by Ars Technica.
The agency argued that emissions from power plants do not have a material impact on climate change, the report said, citing the EPA's stated position as the basis for the proposed rollback.
The move would remove regulatory requirements that had previously governed greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector, according to the report. Further details on the scope of the proposal, its legal basis, or the timeline for implementation were not specified in the available reporting.
Ars Technica did not detail reactions from environmental groups, industry stakeholders, or other government bodies in the excerpt available. Additional information about the proposal's specific provisions and next steps in the regulatory process was not included in the source material.
