On Sept. 14, 2026, at the G20 Energy Abundance Ministerial in Houston, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the final repeal of nearly all of the Biden-Harris administration’s 2024 Carbon Pollution Standards for coal- and gas-fired power plants.

Officials also frame the repeal as a way to avoid wasted spending on controls that have not proven commercially viable. The follow-on proposal’s goal is to make it much harder for the next administration to put federal power-plant climate rules back in place.
