Trump EPA Moves to Repeal Emissions Rules for Fossil-Fuel Power Plants
The Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to reverse a Biden-era regulation capping emissions from fossil-fuel power plants, according to Scientific American.
The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is moving to repeal regulations that capped emissions from fossil-fuel power plants, according to a report by Scientific American.
The rule targeted for repeal was established during the Biden administration as part of efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that burn coal and natural gas, Scientific American reported.
According to the report, the reversal of the cap could have significant consequences for efforts to address climate change, though the publication did not provide further details on the scope or timeline of the EPA's action in the excerpt available.
Scientific American did not specify in the available material which officials at the EPA are leading the repeal effort or when the change might take formal effect.
This is a developing story. Further details on the EPA's rationale, the regulatory process for the repeal, and reactions from environmental groups, industry representatives, or lawmakers were not immediately available.
