"EPA’s Power Plant Repeal Could Leave Some Rules In Place"

"The White House is reviewing EPA’s rollback of some Biden-era standards for some coal- and gas-fired power plants."

"EPA’s efforts to undo Biden-era climate rules for power plants could get a major overhaul before they clear White House review, according to some insiders watching the process.

The White House Office of Management and Budget is currently reviewing EPA’s rollback of Biden-era standards that would have required coal- and some new gas-fired power plants to capture and store most of their carbon emissions. EPA’s proposal last year would have both scrapped both the Biden rules and the underlying Clean Air Act regulatory authority they relied upon.

But lawyers tracking the action — many of whom were granted anonymity because they’re either advising or suing EPA — said that when it is released they expect to see that it has undergone a makeover."
