EPA Rolls Back Power Plant Rules | Global News

The EPA just rolled back sweeping pollution rules targeting coal and gas power plants, claiming it’ll slash energy costs and save billions — while locking in permanent changes so future administrations can’t undo them. But critics say this move ignores science, endangers public health, and reverses progress made to cut deadly emissions. Environmental groups are already preparing legal challenges as the agency defends its decision by arguing the old rules overstepped authority and forced plant closures. This rollback is part of a bigger pattern: undoing climate policies, including a landmark ruling that declared greenhouse gases a public health threat — a move that’s already drawn fierce backlash and lawsuits.
