The US Environmental Protection Agency's repeal of greenhouse gas emission standards for power plants is projected to save $280 billion in compliance costs by 2047 but will increase emissions significantly. Independent modeling finds that the economic and environmental costs of the repeal could exceed benefits by approximately $1.5 trillion between 2032 and 2050, disregarding important health damage costs.
