Summary
The United States may reimpose strict environmental regulations on fossil fuel-fired power plants under a revised plan proposed by Lee Zeldin, potentially reversing progress made during the Biden administration. Critics argue that coal-fired plants cause significant air pollution, resulting in up to 460,000 premature deaths annually. Despite Trump's assertion that fossil fuels don't significantly contribute to climate change, this rollback could revert measures like carbon capture technologies and promote cleaner energy adoption.
