  "account": "The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced it will withdraw regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions from coal and gas power plants. EPA chief Lee Zeldin stated that most of the greenhouse gas regulations for US power plants introduced under President Joe Biden's administration would be rolled back. The move is expected to lead to a significant increase in coal combustion for electricity generation and will likely be challenged in court. The EPA also proposed withdrawing remaining greenhouse gas emission regulations for power plants, citing concerns over its legal authority to regulate emissions due to climate change.",
  "summary": "Greenhouse gases are considered to be the main drivers of man-made climate change. There are also rules in the USA to limit their emissions. But under Trump, these are being dismantled piece by piece.",
