US Scraps Greenhouse Gas Rules for Power Plants The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the repeal of greenhouse gas rules for power plants, a move that will have far reaching implications for both domestic energy policy and international climate negotiations.
The decision is the latest in a series of actions by the agency under Republican leadership to prioritize fossil fuel interests over public health and environmental protection.
The EPA's justification for this move is based on claims that it will "cut red tape" and lead to lower electricity prices for Americans.
