Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources To Further Promote American Energy

President Donald Trump has issued a proclamation granting a two-year exemption from a stringent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule for certain coal-fired power plants. The rule, initially set to be enforced by July 2027, required emissions controls that are not yet commercially viable, potentially threatening jobs and national energy security. This decision could face legal challenges and political debate, as it prioritizes energy reliability and national security over environmental regulations.
