Trump administration repeals power plant greenhouse gas rules

The Trump administration has scrapped federal rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, a sweeping rollback of climate regulations that the White House claims will save the energy sector more than $300 billion. The move removes one of the most significant remaining federal constraints on carbon output from electricity generation. The repeal accelerates a broader pattern of environmental deregulation pursued since Trump returned to office.
