USA allow more gas for power plants

90

The government of the USA changes rules. Power plants for coal and gas get new freedoms. They can now emit as much gas as they want. Earlier, strict limits existed. The protection office EPA deletes these limits.

President Donald Trump wants to help the economy. Companies save much money now. The office wants to stop future strict rules. It bans itself from making new rules.

Environmental groups criticize this decision. They say the dirt harms human health. Experts warn of more storms and fires. Environmentalists fight against the new rule in court.
