EPA scraps power plant emissions limits in sweeping rollback

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is repealing rules that previously limited planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. This sweeping rollback means the EPA will no longer regulate dangerous pollution originating from facilities fueled by coal or natural gas. By eliminating these specific emissions limits, the agency is removing the regulatory framework that targeted greenhouse gases from these power plants, marking a significant shift in the federal approach to managing industrial pollution and climate-warming emissions.
