The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has repealed federal rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants, projecting economy-wide savings of $310 billion between 2026 and 2047 and a 5.8% reduction in average electricity prices by 2035. However, economists warn that the headline figure excludes significant costs: the EPA's own 2025 analysis estimated that additional illness and premature deaths from fine particle and ozone pollution resulting from the repeal would alone cost $130 billion over the same period, with further climate-related damages left unquantified. The real-world impact is already visible in cases such as Michigan's J.H. Campbell coal plant, whose owner reported a net loss of $259 million from being ordered to keep the facility running beyond its planned retirement, costs it is now seeking to pass on to electricity customers across the Midwest.
