EPA Finalizes Its Plan to Replace Obama-Era Climate Rules

“I t will establish what the E.P.A. can and can’t do,” Mr. Holmstead said of the new Trump rule. He maintained that, when the new measure is fully implemented, it will reduce carbon emissions in the power sector by 34 percent below 2005 levels, roughly equal to the goals of the Clean Power Plan. Mr. Wheeler also said the rule could lead to new coal plants in the United States.
