Trump EPA Ends Climate Regulations for Power Plants | Mint
The US Environmental Protection Agency has scrapped climate rules for coal and gas power plants. It removed a Biden-era mandate that forced plants to cut emissions using carbon capture. The agency says this saves $310 billion, which utilities may pass on to customers. Legal challenges are expected. If you deal with US power suppliers, watch costs and court updates.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The US Environmental Protection Agency is repealing climate controls on existing and future coal and gas-fired power plants.
- The agency estimates the final rule will save $310 billion, which it says may help utilities avoid shutting plants and pass savings to customers.
- The EPA also proposed removing the finding that greenhouse gases from power plants are dangerous, and lawsuits are expected.
