US Eliminates Emissions Limits for Coal Power Plants
The Trump administration has scrapped regulations that capped air pollution from power plants, a decision criticized by environmental experts and advocacy groups.
The American administration led by Donald Trump has announced an end to emissions limits imposed on coal power plants, according to Le Monde. The move terminates a regulatory framework designed to control pollution from these facilities.
According to the newspaper, this decision contradicts recommendations for combating climate change. Environmental experts and advocacy groups have expressed concern over this regulatory reversal.
Le Monde notes that the announcement is part of a broader series of measures taken by the current American administration regarding energy and environmental policy.

Environmental organizations cited by the newspaper have raised concerns about the potential consequences of this decision on air quality and international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
