US EPA proposes removing remaining power-plant carbon limits
EPA has already repealed most of its 2024 power-plant carbon standards. A separate proposal would remove the remaining federal greenhouse-gas standards for fossil-fuel power plants under section 111 of the Clean Air Act. The agency argues that the law does not authorize it to regulate power-plant emissions in response to global climate change. That position would remove the legal basis for the remaining standards. The proposal is open for public comment until November 2.EPA has already repealed most of its 2024 power-plant carbon standards.
