The Trump administration on Thursday proposed rolling back an Obama-era rule requiring new U.S. coal plants to slash carbon emissions, according to Reuters.
It’s a move that could crack open the door in coming years for new plants fired by the fossil fuel.
The move to revive the ailing coal industry, caused an uproar among environmental groups, who said it ignored dire warnings from the world’s scientists about climate change.
The EPA hopes to finalize the rule after a public comment period.
