美国环保署计划正式废除煤炭和天然气发电厂的碳污染标准1。这一举措预计将在得克萨斯州休斯顿举行的二十国集团能源部长会议期间宣布，由环保署管理员李·泽尔丁主持发布1。该政策将推翻拜登政府制定的减少发电厂温室气体排放的规则，而这一规则原本计划在2047年前减少10亿吨温室气体排放1。
电力部门在美国温室气体污染中占据重要地位，约占近四分之一1。塞拉俱乐部首席项目官霍莉·本德对此表示强烈反对，称"塞拉俱乐部将在法庭、国会和全国各地社区中竭尽全力对抗这一鲁莽危险的提议"1。这项举措是特朗普政府第二任期内加快移除环保监管的更广泛努力的一部分1。
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to formally rescind carbon pollution standards for coal and natural gas-fired power plants 1. The announcement is expected to occur during a Group of Twenty energy ministers meeting in Houston, Texas 1. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is scheduled to unveil the action in Houston 1.
This move would overturn regulations established by the Biden administration designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector 1. The Biden-era carbon rules were projected to cut one billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2047 1. The power industry currently accounts for nearly one quarter of U.S. greenhouse gas pollution 1.
Environmental advocates have voiced strong opposition to the proposed elimination. Holly Bender, a senior campaign official with the Sierra Club, stated: "The Sierra Club will fight this reckless and dangerous proposal with everything we have in the courts, in Congress, and in communities across the country" 1. This action represents part of the Trump administration's second-term effort to accelerate the removal of environmental regulations 1.
