US EditionUS EPA Wants to Erase Greenhouse Gas Limits on Power Plants, NYT Reports
- On May 24, 2025, the EPA proposed removing all restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions from coal and natural gas power plants across the United States.
- This proposal comes after the Trump administration took steps to roll back climate policies and cut federal funding for climate initiatives, with the EPA submitting its preliminary draft to the White House for consideration on May 2.
- The EPA maintained that greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants, represent a minor and decreasing portion of worldwide emissions and therefore have a limited impact on harmful pollution and climate change.
- Fossil fuels are responsible for more than three-quarters of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions and close to 90 percent of carbon dioxide output, while the United States power industry remains the country’s second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
- If finalized, the EPA's plan could weaken U.S. Climate commitments and slow emissions reduction progress, while the public may comment on the rule in June after possible revisions.
