Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Further Promote American Energy

President Donald Trump has issued a proclamation granting a two-year exemption from stricter emissions standards for certain coal-fired power plants, delaying compliance until July 8, 2029. This move is intended to prevent potential shutdowns of these plants, which could threaten jobs and national energy security, as the required emissions-control technologies are not yet commercially viable. The decision may spark legal and political debate due to its implications for environmental regulations and energy policy, balancing economic concerns with environmental protection.
