The abolition of a series of measures to protect it, which were adopted by governance, in order to reduce the emissions of the combustion plants and power plants, proceeds.
The head of the Federal Environmental Protection Service (EPA), praised the day of the “most important and influential deregulation in the history of their history”, promising to “release American energy” and “revitalize the automotive industry” of his country.
30 meters
Among the 30 meters announced, the US government aims to annul the 2024 regulation required by the power plants to reduce CO2 emissions almost to zero, on a closing penalty if they did not comply with the use of technologies of binding and storage technologies.
This decision, which had welcomed ecological organizations, was also concerned with power plants that would burn natural gas and was due to be implemented in 2032.
The Biden government had estimated that the measure would allow almost 1.4 billion tonnes of CO2 to be avoided by 2047, or otherwise the 328 million car emissions per year.
‘Political companies are celebrating’
“The polluting companies are celebrating today, as Trump’s EPA has just given them free to make unlimited, without being killed for the consequences,” commented Charles Harper of the Evergreen environmental protection organization.
Donald Trump challenges her and often describes the energy transition “fraud”.
Mass layoffs
His government fired hundreds of workers of the Federal Ocean and Atmospheric Observation Agency (NOAA), which played a key role in the US research.
Mass redundancies are also expected in EPA, whose budget is expected to shrink by 65%.
Review rules for pollution
The service said yesterday, Wednesday, that its purpose is to revise the rules for cars caused and was expected to enter into force in 2027, but have been criticized by President Trump.
It is also expected to change the legislation on pure, which forbade the “US Waters”, on fines.
The service is now saying that the government of Joe Biden had not taken into account a ruling by the Supreme Court in 2023 on the basis of which only “water masses relatively permanent, stagnant or in constant route”, such as streams, rivers, lakes and oceans, should be protected by law.
The Earthjustice Environmental Protection Organization warns that this cease to protect millions of acres of wetlands, ecosystems of crucial, filtering water and protecting from floods, as well as millions of kilometers of small streams that provide remarkable water.
Lee Zeldin also confirmed the decision to close environmental justice departments in EPA, ending decades of federal state efforts to fight against pollution affecting communities in degraded US areas.
“President Trump wants to help to open a golden age in America for all Americans, regardless of race, sex and origin,” Mr Zeldin said.
For Matthew Tehanda, NGO Natural Resources Defense Council, “Trump’s EPA leads us back to the era of unhindered infection in the country, exposing every American to toxic chemicals, with air and water infected.”
