The Trump Administration plans to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency regulations that limit carbon emissions from coal and natural gas power plants. The EPA is expected to announce the revocation of these environmental rules soon.
The decision represents another setback in North American climate policy, following a trend of weakening environmental regulations since the start of the new presidential term.
Environment specialists reacted negatively to the measure, classifying it as "totally irresponsible." Critics warn about the negative impacts this revocation could have on carbon emission reduction targets.
The article does not specify exactly when the EPA will make the official announcement nor the technical details of the rules to be eliminated.
