Homeowners and businesses reliant on electricity may face increased costs as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expected to repeal carbon standards for gas and coal power plants. The EPA's move is reportedly a response to the Trump administration's climate policies, which aimed to reduce federal regulations on industries.
Coverage from Bloomberg News indicates that the repeal would target the Clean Power Plan, a 2015 rule that set limits on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The decision's impact on air quality and public health remains uncertain.
