Climate Mayors issued statement in response to the EPA’s repeal of its 2024 Carbon Pollution Standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants, who also issued a supplemental proposal to strip its own authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector. This repeal counters decades of scientific evidence that greenhouse gas pollution from power plants worsens climate change and endangers Americans’ public health and welfare.
