U.S. set to axe climate pollution limits for power plants: reports

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to remove federal limits on climate pollution from coal and gas-fired power plants on Monday. While these specific climate-related restrictions are slated for removal, reports indicate that power plants will remain subject to existing regulations concerning mercury, arsenic, and other toxic contaminants.

This move follows a series of actions taken by the administration since last year to rescind various environmental regulations that restrict fossil fuel usage. The policy shift aligns with the President's stated skepticism regarding human-induced climate change, which he has frequently characterized as a hoax.
