Trump Administration Rolls Back HFC Regulations

Trump Administration Proposes Rollback of HFC Phase-Out: A Shift in Environmental PolicyThe Trump administration is set to loosen federal rules aimed at reducing powerful greenhouse gases used in cooling equipment, a move that contradicts a bipartisan law signed five years ago to phase out these hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) argues this change will make American refrigerants affordable, safe, and reliable, but environmentalists and many in the industry fear it will worsen climate pollution and disrupt the transition to less harmful coolants. This proposed rollback highlights a tension between environmental protection and business interests. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
