The EPA Will Review Greenhouse Gas Regulations in the Biden Era

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced plans on Wednesday to reassess the Biden administration's regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. This move is part of the new administration's efforts to revise regulations affecting the energy sector.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin outlined a series of measures aimed at rolling back regulations implemented during the Biden administration, which were criticized by former President Donald Trump for burdening U.S. industry. Zeldin explained the rationale for reevaluating the Biden-Harris rule, stating, "While reassessing the Biden-Harris rule, which contradicts Supreme Court precedent, we aim to ensure the agency adheres to the rule of law and guarantees all Americans access to reliable and affordable energy." The EPA's review aims to ensure compliance with the rule of law while securing access to dependable and affordable energy for Americans.
