The head of the Environmental Protection Agency announced Wednesday the agency is proposing to scrap two major regulations that limit air pollution and planet-warming emissions from coal and gas-fired power plants.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin claims the repeal of two Biden-era air quality rules will save money, but his own agency's data indicates high health costs.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced Wednesday two major proposals that would weaken pollution standards for fossil-fuel power plants as part of the Trump administration’s effort to revive coal — actions that critics say will negatively impact public health.

Trump signed measures Thursday revoking waivers for the state’s mandates that clean up car and truck exhaust and ramp up sales of electric vehicles.

California leaders said the state intends to challenge the move in court, and to find new ways to move drivers toward electric vehicles.
