EPA ends greenhouse gas limits for power plants, drawing criticism from Texas environmental groups
Americas4 sources1 country6m ago
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced the repeal of federal rules that previously limited greenhouse gas emissions from coal and gas-fired power plants. This regulatory change removes requirements that would have mandated power plants to implement emission-reduction technologies, such as carbon capture and storage systems.
The decision is expected to have significant implications for Texas, which led the nation in power plant carbon emissions in 2025. The move has drawn criticism from environmental groups operating within the state, who expressed concern over the potential long-term impact of the policy shift.
