EPA Rescinds Biden Era Emissions Regulations
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has rescinded endangerment findings regarding species extinction. These rules were designed to eliminate coal-fired power plants, which are a source of CO2 per unit of energy. The move follows a period where many coal plants in the country had already closed. The rescission affects regulations intended to speed the transition to electric vehicles. The discussion noted the findings were previously established by a staff writer at The New Yorker and author of The Sixth Extinction. This action follows separate moves to roll back Biden administration regulations aimed at reducing CO2 emissions from vehicles. Coal is described as the most greenhouse gas intensive and dirty fuel source. The agency has also terminated the jobs of many scientists, according to an article in The New Yorker.
