EPA projected emissions after the repeal

EPA’s analysis projects higher annual power plant carbon dioxide emissions under the partial repeal than under the standards being repealed.^1–3

EPA Table 3-3 reports annual additions of 20, 406, 533 and 486 million metric tons of CO₂ in 2030, 2035, 2040 and 2045.

These are modeled future differences, not observed emissions, cumulative totals or probabilities.

EPA’s cost comparison does not assign a dollar value to the climate damage from these additional emissions. Compliance savings do not measure the full social effect.

Climate policy, financial interests and effects

EPA projected emissions after the repeal^1–3

Trump’s disclosures show investments in oil producers, pipelines and drilling suppliers. His administration’s policies affect those businesses and future emissions. Ownership, government action, modeled climate effects and personal returns are separate parts of the evidence.^1–7

Power plant carbon rule partial repeal

EPA models emissions relative to retaining standards^{1, 7}

EPA signed a final partial repeal of the 2024 power plant carbon standards on September 14, 2026 and issued a separate proposal for broader rescission.^{1, 7}

Additional emissions and global warming

Additional greenhouse gases contribute to warming^1–3

Human activities are the principal cause of recent warming. Additional carbon dioxide traps heat and increases warming compared with emitting less.^2–3
