EPA to erase limits on power-plant climate pollution
Scoop: The EPA is expected to formally rescind carbon pollution standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants as soon as Monday, according to people familiar with the matter. Tag team with @bloomberg.com’s Ari Natter and Jen Dlouhy. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
This movie becomes more and more prescient every day.
I’m old enough to remember when we couldn't bother doing green energy because China had so many coal factories that made it pointless. Now China… is leading the world in green energy?
Welcome Back Acid Rain, Contaminated Water Ways, Crops growing with Excessive Levels of Deadly Toxins. Everything RFK and Every Other GOP member could want to Kill More Americans!
The plan is to raid the Treasury and destroy the country, and they're only getting started. Are we really going to sit back and let them do it?
The blackening of our souls continues #GeneralStrikeNOW
Continuing their march toward killing poor and/or non-white people. But, hey, at least billionaires can hoard more money.
America is a death cult.
Will **DuhRegime, with RFK Jr. at the DHHS helm, deny the existence of all related deaths, like lung and other cancers, as he has done with measles?
Truly the most corrupt, ignorant and globally irresponsible regime in US history…
I want all this criminalized. I know, but a girl can dream

Some crucial context: In the US, power plants are largest industrial source of greenhouse gas emissions. bsky.app/profile/zhir...
the us is collapsing from within. we'll eventually be in a depression worse than the great depression, but everyone will be too stupid, sick, and divided about violence to topple the ruling class.
This is tragic The only *possible* silver lining here is that the World cant get Oil out of the Middle East at the moment and Solar Panels, EVs and Heat Pumps are catching on quicker than the Trump administration would like And Coal, is Victorian Era dying technology. Regardless of rollbacks.
I hope people understand the downstream effects of this: it's not just the pollution or climate change itself. We'll also see long-term health impacts because of it, which further puts a strain on the healthcare system. Imagine enriching insurance companies, private equity, etc. to "own" the Dems.
#HoldBigOilAccountable for the damage they have done and continue to do to our planet! Hold politicians that approve policies that support greed over people and planet equally accountable! We do not have time for this stupid, greedy foolishness!! Vote republicans out of office FOREVER!!
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump EPA says it is eliminating rule that limits planet-warming pollution from coal and gas-fired power plants.
Trump is old. He'll be dead before the planet becomes too hot for humans to survive and thrive. So he doesn't care.
What a shitty choice for president, America.  The dude is an asshole extraordinaire. There’s not one good redeeming fact about him. He needs to be gone…..
Young people better start turning out for elections if they want to have a world left in a few years Percent of eligible voting by age group… * 18–24: ~47% * 25–34: ~52% * 35–44: ~57% * 45–54: ~63% * 55–64: ~69% * 65–74: ~73% * 75+: ~70%
That's OK -- they've changed their name! EDA - Environmental Destruction Agency
If AI doesn't kill us, climate change and pollution will.
Years of progress...now an ignorant Administration will set us back years!!!!
One by one, the Republican Party is rolling back every reform that has made our society safer and healthier.
This certainly won't make America healthier
Guy who could die at any moment is sabotaging life on the planet out of spite.
And yet this still won't help the coal miners about which he claims to care.
🚨Gee... What could possibly go wrong? #Trump #EPA ☣️
They’re really out here trying to actively destroy the planet now and all of us. This should be more disturbing than it is right now! 🚨‼️🔔 #RedAlert
@agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov Please let us know if you and/or other state AGs will be suing the EPA to stop the new pro-coal attempt to pollute us by deregulation, as was announced today. Thank you. bsky.app/profile/kyle...
Ok c'mon now, bro. What the fuck.
BREAKING: E.P.A. Is Expected to Erase Limits on Climate Pollution From Power Plants: Generation of electricity is the second largest source of carbon dioxide & other planet-warming gases in the United States. ABSOLUTELY MONSTROUS ADMINISTRATION!🤬
WTH is wrong with these people? Apparently they don’t even care about their own children anymore.
And the corporations who take advantage of those changes are monsters too. They know full well the harm it will cause.
Peter- do you think there is any way this can be stopped in court? Like really! I’m freaking out.
They want us all dead so they can have their pure, white, wealthy society. Project 2025 in action!
Republicans continue to demonstrate they don’t care about anyone but themselves. Not even their children & grandchildren when it comes to burning down the planet for a quick buck. Anyone who thinks this is making America great needs to have their heads examined.
There will be a lot to do when this regime is out of office. If we are not too late yet.
It's official: The EPA has repealed a rule that would have directly saved thousands of lives by limiting fossil fuel emissions from power plants. Industry lobbyists successfully pushed for this repeal using surging demand from data centers as justification. The government chose AI over human lives.
When you hear the phrase "Political violence is never acceptable," remember that this is also political violence.
I doubt the lobbyists had to work very hard to sell it.
If tech bros really feared that AI would end the world, rather than it all just being marketing bullshit, THIS is the shit they'd be focused on, rather than their Skynet fantasies. The wealthy truly are happy to burn down the world just to add a few more zeros to their bank accounts.
We need to kill every last data center and reinstate this rule as soon as possible.
This epa needs to fuck right off
The hottest US summer recorded in ~132 years, and the Trump regime’s response is to repeal planet-warming carbon pollution standards for coal & gas powered plants We are witnessing the Orwellian inversion of the EPA to destroy our climate instead of advance environmental protection—its literal name
They’re not beating the “When I die, everyone else needs to die too” allegations.
One would have to believe now; they're trying to kill us. PROJECT 2025. And fossil fuel making oodles of cash before they kill us all. Make it make sense. 🙄
The 2028 ticket's platform literally cannot be anti-data center enough for me
Meanwhile EPA says that regulating climate pollution is none of its business, but your uterus is www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I hate these obscene people!
One decision pays of the fossil fuel lobby; the other the anti-abortion fanatics -- the two indispensable elements in the GOP's political coalition.
It's simple. Big Oil & Big Coal give millions to help get Trump elected. He lets them pollute more. You get dirtier air, extreme heat, flooding, & droughts. Trump's trading away your health & safety to pad his donors' pockets. Polluters win, Trump wins, you lose.
Some really great news today for those of you who like your climate polluted. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/c...
He wants everyone to die along with him
Environmental rollbacks have been an ‘Everything Smacks of Gender’ showcase my whole life.
I'm not worried because the Supreme Court recently ruled that government departments like the EPA have no power to make rules, especially if they're even slightly divergent from the most pettifogging interpretation of statute, and the law requires regulation of power plant emissions. sarcasm, obvs
Why is he always sitting down
I'm old enough to remember brown skies and air pollution so bad I would puke sometimes.
4 degrees by 2050. Agriculture collapses at + 2 degrees . Americans find out what real hunger and collapse feels like
Sure - let's ruin the planet even more - make more people sick - all so big business can make more money .... EPA Expected to Erase Limits on Climate Pollution From Power Plants www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/c...
From Europe: What the fuck are you guys doing?
How does this help us poor slobs??? Our poor slob children and grandchildren? It doesn't! It kills us faster! However, it does make our dear PEDO much richer!!!
Remember, remember the 3rd of November. Vote like your lives depend upon it.
Time to erase Lee Zeldin #TrumpSucks
Trump won't be happy until he kills the planet and everyone on it. The shift by the EPA would complete the administration’s erasure of the most consequential climate policies of Presidents Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Barack Obama. #PollutionLimits #ClimateChange #Blues #SheShed
He really would destroy civilization so we don’t see him prosecuted for the Epstein files
MAGA at its core is a death cult. Been saying this for a while now.
the old bastard is on his way out of this world and he is going to take the world with him
Trump knows he is dying so of course everyone else must die too.
He doesn’t want to go alone
So, he's trying to kill us before AI does. We finally got his health scare plan. Got it.
Because trump doesn’t give AF about the future because he won’t be around when the consequences come to fruition. What an Asshole
He wants to leave a scorched earth because he will never be worshipped enough to fill that bottomless pit of self-pity.
Make Lung Cancer, Emphysema and Asthma Great Again! GOP: Profits for the Powerful Over the Health of the People!
Will they knowing the regulations were effective? Would hold off on deregulating until the nation is under stable administration. What they decide will eventually affect their future. trump is temporary. Regulations benefit everyone AND the polluters in the long run.
Posted 55 min ago by @feministnews.bsky.social "The Environmental Protection Agency is about to argue, in a legal filing, that the pollution from power plants doesn't endanger anyone. What the f*ck? It's announcing this at an energy conference in Houston today, in a state that just finished..."
They are killings us little by little
IDJT doesn't care. He will die soon, and he knows it. It doesn't matter if his kids live or his grandkids. Only IDJT matters. The only worry for the future is that everyone has to see his name as long as there is a human around to do it. Or an alien civilization finds IDJT to be our history.
And this is all thanks to The felon trump who doesn’t give a dam about the country or it’s people
And someone is surprised by this??
REMINDER: Trump has overseen a larger fall in coal-fired power than any other US president (ie, other things equal, the EPA repealing power-plant CO2 rules means more coal power,…but other things are not equal, because most coal plants are old and expensive) www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-tru...
The counterfactual is not a world in which coal become magically economically-competitive. It’s a world in which rational policies price-in the harm from keeping coal on life support. In other words, a world which looks more like 🇬🇧 or 🇳🇴 than the 🇺🇸. (See my book: link.springer.com/9783032245755)
Very true. The repealing of emissions rules just smacks of desperation from a dying industry. Not that it won’t do damage, but the future of power generation is clearly not coal, and while it may not be as obvious, the future is not gas either purely for reasons of economics.
This also says something quite damning about previous presidents
