- EPA proposes weakening heavy-duty truck pollution rules
The EPA is proposing to weaken heavy-duty truck pollution rules, citing that Biden-era regulations are unworkable. Trucking groups support the changes, while environmental groups oppose them.

Coal-fired power plants pose significant health risks due to soot and toxic emissions like mercury, which contribute to chronic illnesses. A 2023 study found coal pollution causes higher mortality than previously estimated, and coal power is economically less viable than renewable energy sources. The Trump administration proposed funding for coal plants despite their environmental and health impacts.
