The Environmental Protection Agency is poised to formally repeal carbon pollution ​standards for coal- and gas-fired ⁠power plants, ​Bloomberg News reported Sunday, ⁠citing people familiar with the matter.

The ​latest climate rollback is expected to come as soon as Monday on ⁠the sidelines ⁠of the G20 ⁠energy ⁠ministers' meeting in Houston, Texas, according to Bloomberg.

Earlier this year, the EPA rescinded the 2009 endangerment finding, which had determined that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare, along with federal greenhouse gas standards for vehicles.

The Trump administration first proposed rolling back Biden-era power plant climate rules last summer.

The EPA is now moving to scrap requirements that existing and future fossil fuel-fired power plants use emissions-reduction technologies, including carbon capture and storage, to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

The agency also plans to propose a separate rule reversing its determination that greenhouse gas emissions from power plants pose a threat under the Clean Air Act.
