EPA signals it will slash climate and pollution rules, including for cars and power plants

The Environmental Protection Agency announced a rollback of 31 environmental regulations, calling it the 'most consequential day of deregulation' in U.S. History, according to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.
The EPA is examining regulations on coal-fired power plants and emissions from vehicles, reversing the Biden administration's Clean Power Plan 2.0.
Zeldin stated that this decision aims to lower costs for Americans and revitalize the auto industry while complying with existing Supreme Court rulings.
Environmentalists criticize the EPA's actions as an effort to deny climate change, with experts arguing that these changes could have significant negative impacts on public health and the environment.
