Trump's EPA Set to Repeal Carbon Pollution Rules for Power Plants

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the Trump administration, is set to formally repeal carbon pollution standards for coal- and gas-fired power plants. The move is expected to occur on Monday during the G20 energy ministers' meeting in Houston, Texas. This action will remove Biden-era regulations that aimed to limit power-plant emissions.

The EPA plans to scrap Biden-era rules that limit power-plant climate emissions, according to The Washington Post. The Trump administration’s latest climate rollback is expected to come as soon as Monday on the sidelines of the G20 energy ministers’ meeting in Houston, Texas, as reported by Bloomberg News. The Guardian also reported that the EPA is poised to formally repeal carbon pollution standards for coal- and gas-fired power plants, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.
