EPA repeals GHG limits for US coal and gas power plants; Trump cites $300B savings

The EPA has repealed regulations capping greenhouse gas emissions from coal and gas power plants, a reversal of prior climate policy. Trump frames the move as 'liberating' the plants' potential and claims $300 billion in savings, though the figure is unverified. This shifts US emissions trajectory upward and signals regulatory rollback, with implications for energy markets and climate commitments.

US EPA Repeals Power Plant GHG Limits, Rescinds 2015 Endangerment Finding

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has repealed greenhouse gas (GHG) emission limits for coal and gas power plants and is proposing to rescind the 2015 endangerment finding, arguing Clean Air Act Section 111 does not authorize climate change regulation. This represents a confirmed reversal of established US climate policy, with high confidence in the regulatory actions. The long-term impact remains uncertain due to anticipated legal challenges.
