The Environmental Protection Agency is repealing certain environmental regulations concerning coal-fired power plants in East Texas. These rollbacks were announced on September 14 as part of President Donald Trump’s plan to bolster American energy production. The agency leaders stated that the rollbacks mean that plants like Martin Lake will not be forced to close or comply with certain costly emissions reduction measures within the next decade.
