The Guardian reported that the EPA's two central justifications for the rollback — that it will lower electricity bills and that the pollution itself has little climate impact — do not survive basic scrutiny, according to independent analysis.
On the heels of the hottest summer on record, the Trump administration has finished overturning a key rule limiting climate pollution from power plants—the second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.
EPA repealed federal limits on greenhouse-gas emissions from coal and natural-gas power plants, arguing the rules exceeded the agency’s authority. Environmental and public-health groups are preparing legal challenges. # EPA
The Trump administration is poised to loosen environmental restrictions on oil and gas wells that produce very little energy but release vast amounts of methane, a potent planet-heating gas. @propublica.org
# ClimateCrisis # pollution # EPA "Trump, Zeldin Try to “Unleash” Dirty Energy with Repeal of Pollution Standards The EPA’s rollback of emissions from power plants puts public health, climate at risk. The Trump administration has rolled back Biden-era carbon pollution standards and unveiled its plan to eliminate all controls on greenhouse gas…
EPA's draft proposal to weaken protections for low-producing wells that account for ~half of U.S. oil & gas methane pollution won't strengthen energy dominance. It would waste energy, increase pollution + put nearby communities at risk. More via @propublica.org:
The Trump administration ending carbon pollution limits for coal and gas power plants is an absolute disaster for the planet. Stripping the EPA's power to curb greenhouse gases hands dirty energy a permanent pass while heatwaves worsen. Why sacrifice our future? 🤔 # ClimateCrisis https://www. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Do these people think after Trumpty’s term is over, and with their pardons, have they be thinking the American people will have forgotten what they did?. No more security etc… they are as good as cooked gooses imho. Anyone else?.
The Trump regime removed limits on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. If the move survives legal challenges, it could hinder future administrations from regulating these emissions. E.P.A. Erases Limits on Climat...
