Full steam ahead towards greenhouse gases, climate change, and +5degree temperatures. Why not?

The 2024 standards required existing coal plants and new gas plants to capture 90 percent of carbon emissions or shut down by 2039.

- wow 2039. So this already had no teeth. We can just pass this law again in 2029.

Worth noting that the limits being revoked have only been in place less than two years.
