Multiple reliable sources (AP, Reuters, EPA press release, NPR) report that on September 14, 2026 the EPA repealed the Biden-era greenhouse gas limits on coal and gas power plants, so the claim was true as of 2026-09-16.
This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What we found
Supports. Reuters reports the EPA on September 14, 2026 announced rules repealing Biden-era carbon emission limits on coal- and gas-fired power plants.[1]
Supports. AP reports the EPA said it is repealing rules that limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas.[2][4]
Supports. The EPA's own press release confirms Administrator Zeldin finalized repeal of the majority of the Biden administration's power-plant greenhouse gas requirements on September 14, 2026.[3]
Context. The EPA also proposed rescinding every remaining greenhouse gas standard for the power sector; that is a proposal, not a finalized removal, so the claim's broad phrasing somewhat outruns the record.[3][5]
Context. The claim is a faithful paraphrase of the passage's headline 'EPA Removes Greenhouse Gas Limits', so it is graded normally.
