EPA repeals power-plant greenhouse gas limits
The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency is eliminating federal limits on climate-warming pollution from fossil-fuel power plants. NPR and CBS News report that environmental groups expect effects on climate and public health, while the action may also constrain future administrations' ability to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from the power sector.
Why it matters
The repeal removes a central federal emissions control and is expected to prompt immediate legal challenges.
