The Biden administration announced on March 29 strict regulations for heavy-duty vehicles that would affect bus and freight truck models for 2027 until 2032, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The agency said this development will avoid up to 1 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions over the next three decades and provide $13 […]
A judge in Texas struck down a Biden administration rule on March 28 that required states to measure and report the greenhouse gas emissions from any vehicles using the national highway system.

Attorneys general from 10 states plan to sue the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, saying its failure to review and ensure emissions standards for residential wood-burning stoves has allowed the continued sale of appliances that could worsen air pollution. The White House has released a report on a radical climate change technique. The technology involves solar […]
Officials are looking to ban wood and coal-fired ovens in New York City restaurants citing health reasons—a proposal that could severely hit many of the city’s iconic pizzerias. “All New Yorkers deserve to breathe healthy air and wood and coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with poor air quality,” […]
The House voted on May 23 to overturn the Biden administration’s rule on heavy-duty vehicles’ tailpipe emissions, the latest knock against the president’s environmental agenda in a closely divided Congress and the forerunner to an expected Biden veto. The short piece of legislation would roll back a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) […]
After weeks of buildup, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled its strictest-ever rules for power produced using natural gas, coal, and oil that could spur the use of carbon capture technologies. The standards released on May 11 would impact new and old power infrastructure, including new natural gas turbines and the country’s existing coal fleet. […]
Lawmakers questioned the feasibility of new vehicle tailpipe emissions proposals from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which the agency predicts will lead to the mass adoption of electric light- and medium-duty vehicles within a decade.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed emissions standards for automobiles and trucks are raising eyebrows in the auto industry and Washington alike. “EPA’s proposed emissions plan is aggressive by any measure.

Regulations aiming to limit nitrogen emissions are raising concern in the Netherlands, where about 30 percent of farms might have to close down. But why is nitrogen such a concern? NTD correspondent David Vives and host Roman Balmakov from The Epoch Times spoke to Jaap Hanekamp, a risk assessment expert who has studied nitrogen for about eight years.
The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 on June 30 that the Clean Air Act doesn’t give the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) widespread power to regulate carbon dioxide emissions that a popular theory says contribute to global warming. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the court’s majority opinion (pdf) in West Virginia v. EPA, court file 20-1530. Roberts was […]
Thousands of farmers in the central Netherlands gathered Wednesday—to protest against the Dutch government’s plans to rein in emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia.

Friday is Earth Day, and many are wondering how to do their part in helping the environment. For years, the focus has been on vehicles and the individual, but after pandemic lockdowns, it’s becoming more clear what areas need improvement.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry is vowing to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent the Biden administration from recalculating and using the “social cost” of carbon emissions, a metric used in climate regulation that critics say needlessly drives up operating costs for businesses and prices for consumers. Critics have long said that the classification […]
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has twisted the climate change movement into a political and economic weapon against the West, according to a new report by The Global Warming Policy Foundation, a London-based non profit.
