The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering rolling back regulations that limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, according to newly revealed documents. This move would undo a key policy aimed at reducing the energy sector's carbon footprint—a major contributor to climate change. Critics argue it’s a step backward for environmental progress, while supporters claim it eases burdens on the industry.

Editor’s Note: If these limits disappear, power plants—many of which still rely on coal and gas—could pump more emissions into the atmosphere unchecked. That’s a big deal because the energy sector is one of the largest sources of U.S. greenhouse gases, and loosening these rules could slow efforts to fight climate change. It also signals a broader shift in how the government prioritizes industry concerns over environmental protections.
