Trump's EPA repeals pollution limits on fossil fuel power plants

The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency is eliminating limits on climate-warming pollution from the nation's fossil fuel power plants. The regulatory rollback targets greenhouse gas emissions from these facilities.

The policy change is expected to face immediate legal challenges. Additionally, sources indicate the new rule could prevent future administrations from regulating greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.

Environmental groups have criticized the decision, stating that the repeal of these pollution limits will negatively impact both the climate and public health.
