President Trump, who calls climate change a βhoaxβ is eliminating restrictions on coal, oil and gas while imposing new ones on renewable energy like wind and solar.
Employees suspended in the summer after signing a letter critical of the president were told they could return to work. But the reinstatement was short-lived.
Oil and gas firms were supposed to start reducing methane, a powerful driver of climate change. The agency is giving them more time and may cancel the requirement.
