Trump Administration Announces Rollback of Environmental Regulations on Power Plant Emissions
The upcoming announcement from the Trump administration on September 13, 2026, will signal a significant change in environmental policy. The United States is set to remove restrictions on the emissions of planet-warming pollutants from power plants that burn coal and gas. This decision marks the culmination of the administration's efforts to undo key climate policies implemented by Presidents Biden and Obama. The Environmental Protection Agency's move, if upheld against anticipated legal opposition, could establish a barrier to future administrations seeking to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
