  • On a day featuring a blitz of environmental regulatory actions, the EPA on Wednesday announced two particularly sweeping climate change moves. Why it matters: The moves reveal the administration's strategy to "revisit" or "revise" both the social cost of carbon as well as the 16-year-old endangerment finding.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is set to revisit and potentially revise climate regulations established during the Obama and Biden administrations. This move comes in response to a recent Supreme Court decision that limits the EPA's authority to broadly regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The EPA plans to propose new rules by March 2023, focusing on emissions from coal and natural gas power plants, aiming to align with the court's ruling while still addressing climate change. The review includes reconsidering the Clean Power Plan, which was intended to shift the U.S. energy sector towards cleaner sources but was stayed by the Supreme Court in 2016. This initiative reflects the Biden administration's commitment to reducing carbon emissions, despite the legal constraints imposed by the judiciary.
