US EPA reverses emissions rules for power plants
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has eliminated requirements for fossil fuel power plants to install technical controls to curb emissions. This action reverses a previous policy aimed at reducing pollution from these facilities. The decision is expected to allow older coal plants to continue operating longer, potentially fueling the demand for electricity driven by the artificial intelligence boom. One report described the move as the 'largest deregulatory action ever' in the power sector.
