Administraţia Trump va elimina plafoanele de emisii pentru centralele electrice pe cărbune şi gaz, anulând regulile de decarbonizare stabilite în 2024 în timpul administraţiei Joe Biden

The Trump administration plans to remove emission caps for coal and gas power plants, reversing Biden-era decarbonization rules. Lee Zeldin, head of the EPA, is expected to announce this at a G20 energy ministers meeting. While power plants will still need to meet certain limits for pollutants like mercury and arsenic, the move is seen as a significant step back in climate policy. Trump has consistently dismissed climate change as a hoax and has enacted various measures favoring fossil fuels since returning to office in January 2025.
