The US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) new regulation will save the industry over $300 billion, according to the agency, and help "unleash" American energy potential. Environmental groups, however, condemned the change, stating it will harm Americans' health and further damage the environment.

Removing the cap on emissions that contribute to climate change marks a significant departure from efforts by Democratic Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama to combat climate change and industrial pollution. The rule is expected to face legal challenges.
