What happened
The Trump administration and the Environmental Protection Agency are reportedly set to eliminate federal regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The proposed rule change would roll back policies implemented by the Biden and Obama administrations to combat climate change. Outlets report the announcement is expected on Monday.
Reports across the political spectrum agree that the Trump administration and the EPA are planning to remove federal regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, undoing prior policies established by the Biden and Obama administrations.
Left-leaning outlets like The New Republic and Common Dreams use strong critical language, stating the agency will let power plants poison the air and accelerate global warming. Right-leaning outlets such as the Washington Examiner note that the administration argues the repeal will strengthen the power grid and lower customer costs, while the Free Beacon highlights the assertion that the prior rules have virtually no benefit. Center outlets like PBS NewsHour and CBS News provide a more neutral overview, noting the expected immediate legal challenges to the rule change.
