Excellent news.
Politico (6/11/25) reports: "The Trump administration announced Wednesday that it’s revoking limits on power plants’ climate pollution — removing the cornerstone of a decadelong strategy to douse one of the nation’s largest sources of heat-trapping gases... EPA’s plan to unshackle the power sector — the second-largest source of U.S. climate pollution, behind transportation — collides with the agency’s past assertions that the most effective way to slow rising temperatures is by tackling the biggest contributors of greenhouse gases. EPA’s new rule said that greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. fossil fuel power plants are not significant because they 'are a small and decreasing part of global emissions; cost-effective control measures are not reasonably available; and because this Administration’s priority is to promote the public health or welfare through energy dominance and independence secured by using fossil fuels to generate power.'”

"The climate litigation game is perverse because it is fundamentally inconsistent with the evidence on climate phenomena, and because it represents an attack on our democratic institutions as it attempts to attain through litigation what it cannot achieve in Congress."
