Five nonprofits that were awarded billions of dollars in grants last year are trying to stop the Trump administration from clawing back the money.

The Trump administration proposes to revoke the Obama-era endangerment finding related to greenhouse gas impacts on climate change damage—and along with it, eased vehicle tailpipe emissions regulations. 

A pair of proposed rules would repeal emissions standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants and weaken rules on how much mercury and other air toxics can be admitted.

Draft proposed rule, particularly aimed at coal-fired plants, is part of the government intent to stop facility retirements and boost the sector's fortunes under the Trump energy agenda, which also calls for possibly building new nuclear reactors without approval from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

The 2023 rule faced a legal challenge from multiple states.

Legal challenges to executive order aiming to boost coal production are expected. 

The $27-billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund was created under 2022's Inflation Reduction Act.

Contractors are already embracing electric equipment as well as hybrids and electric trucks, but a new EPA rule could spur manufacturers to push for even faster EV adoption.

Guiding the state’s push to reach nation-leading goals in clean energy deployment, the chief of the NY State Energy Research and Development Authority acknowledges the “heavy lift” ahead amid construction headwinds but says the challenge to mitigate climate change is "compelling."

The Federal Highway Administration has issued a final regulation requiring state departments of transportation to chart tailpipe emissions of greenhouse gases.
