REPORT: Biden’s EPA hid comments from Dept. of Energy that undermined key part of EPA power plant rule

The Clean Power Plan 2.0 was supported by a finding that carbon capture technology had been “adequately demonstrated.” The EPA sought and got comments from the DOE, which disputed that “demonstration.” Somehow those comments never made it into the administrative record.

Former President Joe Biden, as well as his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama, pledged to “follow the science” when it came to climate policies. Since President Donald Trump assumed office — a man accused of waging a “war on science” — revelations have shown that, when it came to previous administrations, sometimes science was either shaped to serve preferred policies or dismissed when it didn’t support them.
