Article: “10 Big Biden Environmental Rules, and What They Mean” 

Reflection:

In The New York Times article “10 Big Biden Environmental Rules, and What They Mean,” Coral Davenport reports on the administration’s regulations across climate sectors such as asbestos and decreasing pollution from power plants. Ranked by importance, the top three are car electrification, decreasing power plants’ harmful emissions, and preventing leaks of methane, according to Davenport. The journalist reports that the administration aims to cap auto tailpipes’ pollution levels in order to decrease the number of greenhouse-gas-emitting cars in coming years. Next, power plant pollution regulations include a requirement for current coal-based plants to reach 10% of their greenhouse emissions in the next 15 years, Davenport writes. The journalist also describes a methane leak regulation mandating leak restorations by gas and oil producers. 

I want to learn about the process behind these regulations. Is there a specific system that upholds integrity?
