EPA set to roll back rules that limit greenhouse gases and mercury from US power plants

UNITED STATES, JUN 11 – EPA estimates the repeal could save the power sector $1.2 billion annually by removing emission limits on coal and gas plants, shifting focus to energy affordability and independence.

  • The Environmental Protection Agency announced on Wednesday plans to roll back Biden-era rules limiting greenhouse gas and mercury emissions from fossil fuel power plants in the U.S.
  • This rollback is part of the Trump administration’s multipronged effort to reduce emission controls amid criticisms that previous rules threatened coal, oil, and gas industries.
  • The EPA’s proposal would reverse limits on toxic chemical releases and greenhouse gases despite decades of evidence linking these pollutants to health harms like cancer and asthma.
  • NRDC CEO Manish Bapna said, "if the EPA goes ahead, we'll see them in court," while EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin claimed the changes would save over a billion dollars annually.
  • The rollback could increase emissions and health risks, provoking legal challenges from environmental groups and debate over balancing economic and environmental priorities.
