The North American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on Monday that it will revoke the rules that limit greenhouse gas emissions from coal and natural gas-fired power plants. This decision represents a significant change in the environmental policy of the United States.
The EPA is the body responsible for environmental regulation in the country and was the entity that made the decision to eliminate these limitations. Greenhouse gas emissions are pointed out as causes of global warming.
With this revocation, power plants that use coal and natural gas are no longer subject to the limits previously imposed on their greenhouse gas emissions. The article does not provide details about what these specific rules were or about the expected impact of this decision.
