Inside Biden’s crackdown on power plant emissions
from POLITICO Energy · host POLITICO
The Environmental Protection Agency proposed its latest rule to impose stricter limits on fossil fuel power plants. The Biden administration says the draft regulation will reduce the effects of climate change and provide better-paying jobs, but the rule will likely face major challenges from GOP-led states and questions from utilities who say the power sector isn’t ready for the proposed changes. POLITICO’s Alex Guillén breaks down the details of the new rule. Plus, the Senate on Thursday narrowly voted to overturn two Biden administration policies intended to protect endangered species. Alex Guillén is an energy reporter for POLITICO Pro. Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO. Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer.
