Trump EPA to Stop Tracking Emissions From Biggest Polluters

The EPA plans to end standards that compel power plants, industrial facilities, oil refineries and other major polluters to collect and report data on their emissions.

Ending the agency’s long-standing Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, which tracks pollution from some 8,000 sites, would make it harder for the public and policymakers to track greenhouse-gas emissions from large swaths of the economy. In all, polluters on the inventory reported some 2.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2023.
