Next Episode: How Biden’s latest climate rule could impact the power grid

The Environmental Protection Agency proposed its latest rule to impose
stricter limits on fossil fuel power plants. The Biden administration
says the draft regulation will reduce the effects of climate change and
provide better-paying jobs, but the rule will likely face major
challenges from GOP-led states and questions from utilities who say the
power sector isn’t ready for the proposed changes. POLITICO’s Alex
Guillén breaks down the details of the new rule. Plus, the Senate on
Thursday narrowly voted to overturn two Biden administration policies
intended to protect endangered species.
