Trump administration will repeal Biden's power plant pollution curbs

The Trump administration plans to propose repealing Biden-era climate regulations on power plants, potentially increasing greenhouse gas emissions, as early as Wednesday. The Environmental Protection Agency is also set to propose removing limits on mercury and other toxic air pollutants from power plants. These actions would undo restrictions on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from coal and natural gas facilities. This move aligns with the administration's focus on expanding domestic energy development, despite potential environmental impacts and opposition from environmental groups. The EPA cites the need for affordable energy and adherence to legal precedent.
