Biden's EPA Seeks First Limits on Power Plant Carbon Pollution

The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to propose regulations to cut carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, which are a leading cause of climate change.
The rules are aimed at limiting emissions from both existing coal and gas-fired power plants, according to reports citing sources familiar with the plan.
If finalized, the regulation would be the first time the federal government has restricted carbon emissions from existing power plants and would significantly curb greenhouse gas pollution in the US.
The proposal faces opposition from fossil fuel companies and Republicans but is a key part of Biden's agenda to tackle climate change.
The regulation would take effect in 2040 but still faces a public comment process and possible legal challenges.
