New York Post (June 12, 2025) WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing the removal of Biden administration greenhouse gas regulations — which saddled the energy industry with an extra $1.3 billion per year in costs — in order to provide cheaper electricity produced by coal and natural gas, The Post can reveal.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin will announce later Wednesday the repeal of two emissions standards that targeted coal and gas power plants generating electricity and had been projected to raise energy costs by nearly $20 billion over the next two decades, officials said.
“The sole purpose of these Biden-Harris administration regulations was to destroy industries that didn’t align with their narrow-minded climate change zealotry,” Zeldin said in a statement Wednesday. “Together, these rules were designed to regulate coal, oil and gas out of existence.”
