EPA Proposes Repeal of Power Plant GHG Rules, Rescinds 2015 Endangerment Finding

The U.S. EPA is supplementing its proposal to repeal all GHG emission standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants, arguing that Clean Air Act Section 111 does not authorize regulation for climate change. This would rescind the 2015 endangerment finding, a reversal of established climate policy. The move signals a major regulatory shift, but faces legal challenges and uncertainty over final adoption.

US EPA Reverses Federal Power Plant Emissions Limits

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has formally repealed federal limits on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from coal and gas power plants, reversing established climate policy. This action shifts the burden of emissions reduction to states and utilities, with the administration claiming economic benefits and minimal climate impact, though these claims are disputed by analysts. The move faces potential legal challenges.
