The EPA's Emissions Rollercoaster: A Pattern of Climate Denial The Environmental Protection Agency's latest move to roll back greenhouse gas emissions limits on coal and gas fired power plants is a stark reminder that the agency has become mired in a climate policy cycle.
Every few years, the agency makes a dramatic pivot, either tightening or loosening regulations, as if it were a simple issue to resolve rather than a complex problem to address.
The EPA's proposal would repeal limits on emissions from power plants by arguing that they don't have the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.
