Published · Updated
AI-generated summary of the coverage listed below: At the G20 summit in New Delhi, the United States announced it would eliminate federal restrictions on carbon emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants. The decision reverses a 2022 rule that capped emissions from these facilities, potentially allowing higher output of greenhouse gases. The move is part of a broader U.S. strategy to boost domestic energy production, but it raises concerns about climate impacts and international commitments to reduce emissions.
