The Trump administration plans to announce on Monday that the U.S. will stop limiting global-warming pollution from coal- and gas-fired power plants during electricity generation, according to The New York Times, which cited two people familiar with the matter. The policy shift is expected to be announced by Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin during the G20 energy ministers meeting in Houston. The report says the administration has been trying to make fossil fuel production and use easier and cheaper, with a particular focus on using fossil-fuel power generation to serve rising electricity demand from artificial intelligence data centers. The account was attributed to unnamed sources cited by The New York Times.
