The Trump Administration revoked rules that limited carbon emissions from coal and natural gas power plants. This decision marks a significant reversal of environmental policies implemented during the previous administration.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also presented a separate proposal that could prevent future administrations from regulating greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. This second measure aims to limit the environmental regulatory power of succeeding governments.
These actions represent a profound change in the United States' energy and climate policy, favoring the use of fossil fuels over measures to combat climate change.
