On March 12, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced their plan to reconsider and potentially roll back a long list of the agency’s own policies and regulations. This could amount to a sweeping change in how the EPA regulates electric power, oil and gas production, vehicles, water and air quality, and climate pollutants from all sources. The magnitude of these regulatory changes remains to be seen, but the types of changes the agency is considering suggest that it intends to end the regulation of climate pollutants to the maximum extent possible.

This announcement presents an opportunity for states to enact their own climate policies and regulations to make up for any withdrawal by the federal government.
