4. Trump EPA to stop tracking emissions from biggest polluters

Meanwhile...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 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.

The move to end the program, which was announced Friday and still needs to be finalized, comes as the agency moves to unwind scores of Biden-era environmental regulations.
