Should the EPA stop capping power plant emissions?

The facts

The EPA announced in June 2025 it would repeal Biden-era greenhouse gas emission limits on coal- and gas-fired power plants.

The agency estimates the repeal will save industry more than $300 billion in compliance costs over roughly two decades.

Fossil-fuel power plants account for about 25% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, the second-largest source after transportation, per EPA data.

The repealed 2024 rule would have required most coal and new large gas plants to cut 90% of their CO2 emissions by 2032, largely via carbon capture.

U.S. electricity demand is projected by the EIA to grow faster than any time in two decades, driven by AI data centers and manufacturing.
