The Trump administration has made a significant change to regulations affecting coal- and gas-fired power plants. Previously, these plants were subject to rules limiting planet-warming emissions, but these regulations have now been gutted. This move is expected to benefit the fossil fuel industry.

The power plant sector is a major contributor to climate change in the U.S. With the regulations removed, these plants will be able to release greenhouse gases without government oversight.

Further details on this development are available from the source, including expected outcomes and implications for the industry and environment.
