"[C]limate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax."

"I believe in climate change caused by human beings. What I'm skeptical about is the glib notion that it means the end of the world as we know it."

"The clock is no longer just ticking, it is banging."

"There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change."

"The time for seeking global solutions [to climate change] is running out."

"The climate crisis is the existential threat. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact."

"[W]e are killing our planet."

Climate change is "above all, an existential crisis."

"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges mankind faces."

"If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon."

"Humanity is on thin ice — and that ice is melting fast."

"We haven't yet exceeded the bounds of viable human civilisation, but we're getting close."

"The One Big Beautiful Bill is phasing out preferential tax credits for intermittent, costly, and unreliable green energy projects!"

"With the One Big, Beautiful Bill we can unleash American energy development."

"The US is falling behind when it comes to clean energy investment. This is about to get worse."

This bill is "cruel, costly, and damaging to our climate."

Trump's bill "brings a sledgehammer to clean energy in America — hurting our fight against climate change while raising energy costs and slashing good-paying jobs."

These bills "push those goals [to cut greenhouse gases 61 to 66 percent below 2005 levels by 2035] far out of reach."

"Yes. Unquestionably [this bill will harm clean energy development and manufacturing across the country]."

Will the One Big Beautiful Bill Act Put US Climate Goals Out of Reach?

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin is expected to announce Monday that the agency is repealing limits on greenhouse gas emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants. Zeldin will be at a G20 energy ministers meeting billed as the Energy Abundance Ministerial.

Alongside the repeal, the EPA plans to propose a separate rule revoking the federal finding that greenhouse gases from power plants endanger public health, which would remove the legal basis for future regulation under the Clean Air Act.

The EPA says that the deregulatory package is the largest in the power sector in U.S. history, estimating $310 billion in savings from scrapping the Biden-era rules and $370 million in direct compliance savings from ending remaining greenhouse gas rules.

The rules being rescinded were finalized in 2024 and applied to operating coal plants and future gas plants. Coal plants would have had to capture 90% of emissions by 2032 to run beyond 2039, or gas plants to burn cleaner fuels such as hydrogen.

The Biden administration projected that its power plant rules would cut emissions by roughly 1 billion metric tons by 2047 and deliver $120 billion in public health benefits, including preventing up to 1,200 premature deaths in 2035 alone.

Electricity generation is the second-largest U.S. source of planet-warming gases after transportation. In 1990 coal supplied about 52% of U.S. electricity, falling to roughly 17% in 2025, while gas-fired plants generated 40% last year.

Scrapping the Biden-era power plant rule ends a scheme built to shutter well-run coal plants by demanding technology that doesn't exist at scale. Choking off fossil fuels only drives prices up, and California's sky-high gas costs prove where that road leads. America needs more affordable energy, not more red tape written to strangle it.

Power plants pump out about a quarter of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and wiping out limits on that pollution guarantees hotter summers, worse floods and more kids in the emergency room with asthma attacks and heatstroke. Gutting one of the nation's most essential climate policies is a betrayal of the EPA's mission to protect health. Families end up paying with their wallets and their lungs.

It's great that the Trump administration is ending a scheme built to shutter well-run coal plants by demanding technology that doesn't exist at scale.

This is a horrifying decision that will guarantee hotter summers, worse floods and more kids in the emergency room with asthma attacks and heatstroke.
