The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), led by Donald Trump appointees, proposed significant rollbacks on power plant pollution standards, claiming it would save the U.S. approximately $1 billion annually. Experts highlight that these savings largely benefit power plant operators, who will avoid cutting emissions, while the public will suffer from increased pollution and health risks. The move is seen as a departure from the EPA's mandate to protect American health, with critics arguing that it favors corporate donors over climate responsibility and public welfare.
The EPA's plan to eliminate power plant pollution standards promises $1 billion in savings, primarily benefiting plant operators, while costs to public health and climate are disregarded.
Experts argue that the EPA's rollback on emissions standards will burden the public with dirtier air, while benefits will disproportionately favor a select group of energy donors.
