The Trump administration’s EPA chief Lee Zeldin is repealing Biden-era climate regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The move could save industries up to $670 billion in compliance costs and is expected to increase coal production tenfold. EPA projects that the changes will save $310 billion alone, with additional savings of $370 billion if all remaining emission standards are eliminated. Zeldin argues that these regulations exceeded the EPA’s authority and had no material impact on global climate change.
