What happened, for context

On September 14, 2026, the Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency announced the repeal of rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions from coal- and natural gas-fired power plants, reversing Biden-era climate regulations. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin characterized the action as removing regulatory burdens on energy production; the agency also proposed to argue that greenhouse gases do not endanger human health, which could prevent future administrations from regulating such emissions under the Clean Air Act.
