EPA proposes to eliminate rules that limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas.

EPA also proposes weakening a regulation that requires power plants to reduce mercury and other toxic pollutants that can harm the brain development of young children and contribute to heart attacks and other health problems in adults.

The rollbacks are meant to fulfill President Donald Trump 's repeated pledge to “ unleash American energy ” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says the action would remove billions of dollars in costs for industry.

Ex- New York congressman says the Biden -era rules were designed to “suffocate our economy in order to protect the environment’s environment” National Mining Association says the rules remove “deliberately unattainable standards” for clean air.

Expert says the EPA proposal “has the potential to have much, much broader implications”.
