US Ends Power Plant Rules
The US had rules for power plants. Power plants make electricity. Many of them burn coal and gas. The rules told them to cut pollution. On Monday, the US government ended most of these rules.
Government leaders say the rules cost too much money. They say coal and gas give power all the time. But power plants make a lot of pollution.
Many people are not happy. They say dirty air can kill people. They say the planet will get hotter. Some groups want to go to court.
