Sierra Club: Trump’s Latest Environmental Rollbacks Are Yet Another Move To Cut Corners For The Coal And Fossil Fuel Industries - CleanTechnica

The article reports on the Trump Administration’s anticipated environmental rollbacks aimed at supporting the coal and fossil fuel industries. These rollbacks include revoking the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) greenhouse gas endangerment finding under the Clean Air Act, weakening mercury and air toxics standards for power plants, and loosening greenhouse gas emission standards for vehicles. Such measures are expected to prolong the operation of coal plants, increase pollution, and worsen climate impacts. Elayne Coleman, Michigan Chapter Director of the Sierra Club, criticized these rollbacks for undermining environmental protections and public health, particularly highlighting the continued operation of the outdated Campbell coal plant in Michigan. She condemned the administration for prioritizing corporate polluters’ interests over the well-being of communities and clean energy progress. The Sierra Club, as America’s largest grassroots environmental organization, continues to advocate for clean energy, environmental justice, and the protection of natural resources through activism, education, and legal efforts.
