Concerned The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s plan to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from thermal power plants faces a difficult road ahead. Since it does not involve revision of existing laws, it does not need to be passed through Congress, but it is required to lay the groundwork for Senator Manchin (Democrat) from West Virginia, which has a coal industry, and members of both the Democratic and Republican parties who oppose it. In addition, there may be lawsuits from state governments. The effective deadline for regulation is expected to be September next year. The Biden administration is aiming for early regulation, but the future is unclear.
