EPA Rolls Back Carbon Rules Amid Energy Demand Surge

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has rolled back most of the Biden-era carbon restrictions on coal and natural gas power plants. The move aims to reduce emissions, but critics argue it will have little impact due to increasing demand for energy.

According to industry experts, the EPA's decision is a response to growing concerns about energy security amidst rising global demand. This surge in demand has led to an increase in production from coal and natural gas power plants, making existing emissions targets harder to meet.
