According to those familiar with the matter, they will propose to eliminate the Trump administration’s Biden era climate mandate, which on Wednesday requires the country’s power plants to prevent the emission of warming greenhouse gases on Wednesday.
The Environmental Protection Agency is also ready to advance the unprecedented boundary project on Mercury and other toxic air pollution, who called for anonymity because these measures are not yet public.
People said the proposals, which are still the most important related to the administration. Former President Joe Biden imposed sanctions that effectively force the use of carbon capture technology to prevent warming pollution on the planet.
The EPA has also planned to eliminate strict standards that limit the emissions of paragraph, particle substances and other pollution, which require the installation of expensive pollution controls in coal -fired power plants.
The move, which will be subject to the duration of public comments before finalizing them, will come when the Trump administration prefers to expand domestic energy development, citing the massive increase in electricity demand from artificial intelligence. Opponents of the Biden era have argued that the mandates will unnecessarily shut down coal -fired plants and discourage the construction of new gas -fired facilities.
The industry and environmental stakeholders expect the administration to cancel the curb of greenhouse gas emissions will not have any meaningful effect on public health and well -being, as coal and gas -powered power plants produce only a little part of the planet’s warming pollution. President Donald Trump vowed to “eliminate” these needs during the election campaign last year.
“President Trump promised to abolish the clean power plan in his first term, and now we continue to advance this progress,” said Lee Zidden, EPA Administrator Li Zidlon, in a statement on Monday. “Reviewing the rules of the Biden Harris according to the law of the Supreme Court case, we are trying to ensure that the agency follows the rule of law while providing access to reliable and affordable energy to all Americans.”
The EPA refused to comment on Tuesday.
Shares of Pabodi Energy Corporation, a US coal producer, jumped at New York at 3:30 pm at 12 minutes.
EPA data shows that the power sector is the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions behind transportation in the United States. Scientists say that the world needs to reduce the rapid pollution of the global temperature and to avoid destructive consequences of climate change, scientists say.
“Eliminating these two clean act reservations will impose deep costs on millions of people in the United States, including more serious illnesses and premature deaths,” the Environmental Defense Fund said in an email.
