Greenhouse Gas Rollback: A Step Backwards for Climate Action The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has rolled back greenhouse gas regulations for power plants, a move that is widely seen as a setback for climate action.
The reversal of the Biden era emissions limits will contribute to an increase in carbon dioxide pollution from America's second largest source of emissions.
Power plants are responsible for nearly 25% of US carbon pollution, and their emissions are expected to rise further. In contrast, the transportation sector holds the top spot for greenhouse gas emissions.
