唐纳德·特朗普总统领导的政府正着手废除拜登时期的气候法规，称此举可为行业节省至多6700亿美元的合规成本。
美国环境保护署署长李·泽尔丁表示，该机构正在废除拜登政府针对美国发电厂制定的大部分温室气体要求。环保署预计仅此一项就可节省3100亿美元的合规成本，泽尔丁还提议废除所有剩余的温室气体排放标准，预计可额外节省3700亿美元。
该行动最早由《华盛顿自由灯塔报》报道，旨在提振煤炭和天然气发电生产。环保署称，根据这些调整，电力行业用煤炭产量预计将增长十倍。

“15多年来，奥巴马和拜登政府发动了针对煤炭的战争，旨在摧毁可靠且负担得起的能源。特朗普政府上台是为了保护美国能源，确保民众能用得起电费、维持照明，”泽尔丁在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中说道。
“美国民众将看到电价下降，但这只是开始。我们正致力于采取更多举措，全面释放美国能源的潜力。充分发挥美国能源的潜力意味着更多就业岗位、更低的价格和更繁荣的美国，”他补充道。

此次被废除的是前总统乔·拜登2024年发布的《碳污染标准》，泽尔丁认为该标准超越了环保署的权限，为发电厂设定了不可能达成的目标，迫使它们关闭。
“模型持续显示，发电厂的温室气体排放对全球气候变化没有实质性影响。事实上，如果明天所有二氧化碳都被消除，气候也不会出现任何有意义的变化，”环保署在一份声明中写道。

“此外，目标排放物是全球性的，任何潜在的公共健康危害都过于不确定、推测性、遥远且复杂，无法将其与美国电力行业直接挂钩，”声明继续说道。

能源部长克里斯·赖特也对环保署的举措表示支持，称煤炭和天然气为美国电力基础设施提供了关键稳定性，“无论是否刮风或日照充足”。

Trump admin moves to gut Biden’s signature environmental rules

President Donald Trump’s administration is moving to gut Biden-era climate regulations that it says could save the industry up to $670 billion in compliance costs.
Environmental Protection Agency chief Lee Zeldin says the agency is repealing the majority of the Biden administration’s greenhouse gas requirements for U.S. power plants. The EPA projects that alone will save $310 billion in compliance costs, and Zeldin has proposed eliminating all remaining greenhouse gas emission standards, which would save a projected additional $370 billion.
The move, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, is aimed at boosting coal and natural gas power production. The EPA says coal production for use in the power sector is expected to increase tenfold under the changes.

“For over 15 years, the Obama and Biden administrations implemented a war on coal to destroy reliable and affordable energy. The Trump Administration has come in to protect American energy and to make sure you can afford to keep the lights on,” Zeldin said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
“Americans will see a decrease in electricity prices, but this is just the beginning. We are working to go even further so that American energy can be fully unleashed. Realizing the full potential of American energy means more jobs, lower prices, and a more prosperous America,” he added.

On the chopping block are former President Joe Biden’s 2024 Carbon Pollution Standards, which Zeldin argues exceeded the EPA’s authority by setting impossible standards for power plants in an effort to force them to close.
“Models continue to show that GHG [Greenhouse Gas] emissions from power plants have no material impact on global climate change. In fact, if all carbon dioxides were eliminated tomorrow, there would be no meaningful climate impact,” the EPA wrote in a statement.

“Additionally, the targeted emissions are global in nature, and any potential public health harms are too uncertain, conjectural, remote, and convoluted to tie specifically to the U.S. power sector,” it continued.

Energy Secretary Christ Wright endorsed the EPA’s move as well, saying coal and natural gas provide critical stability for U.S. power infrastructure, “regardless of whether the wind is blowing or the sun is shining.”
