What did the EPA decide about power‑plant emissions limits?
Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, the EPA lifts power plant emissions limits, delighting the coal industry but enraging environmentalists. Then HyRox
found itself in a sticky and stinky situation this past week. It's Tuesday, September 15th. Let's ride.
There are more than 8.3 billion people alive today, but you can become the best at one particular skill as long as it's random enough. That's my takeaway from the Guinness World Records, which revealed some fresh records found in its 2027 book. There's the five-year-old from Houston who became the world's youngest female yoga instructor after completing a 200-hour training course or ephemeral Remy, the most tattooed living. person after applying ink to some areas of his body over 100 times, or the narrowest drivable car, a rebuilt fiat panda measuring less than 20 inches wide. Toby, something tells me you're the kind of guy who's tried to break a Guinness world record at some point in your life.
I grew up collecting Guinness Book of World Records. One, because I just loved how they looked, all the different colors lined up. I also loved memorizing mostly the animal facts for whatever reason. I always know that the Hawk Moth is the fastest airborne insect. But it did get me thinking, what could Toby Howell set a Guinness Book of World Records in? And I think it has to be a Venn diagram of two things because it's hard to be the best in one thing, but if you took the fastest marathon and lowest golf round completed in one day, I think I got a shot because the Venn diagram of people who can break three and break par must be small. So that's exactly where my mind went.
Do you know how the application process goes or like how can you just submit literally anything like that?
I think to have it verified, you pay that's how they make their money. You need someone to come and verify that you did everything properly. So that's one thing, but I think you can also do something and then retroactively submit it as well. It also had me thinking about you, Neil. Any ideas of what you could. I'll I'll I'll have
to think about it more. Nothing comes to mind. I'm just the I'm I'm the average Joe at literally everything.
But I was going through some of these and one woman set the record for most frog-related memorabilia, another one for most my little pony memorabilia. So just start collecting something now in 50, 60 years. You'll have to get us book of world records. And now a word from our sponsor, hotels.com.

President Trump's EPA wants power plants to let it rip carbon emissions be darned. Yesterday, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it would lift a cap on planet warming greenhouse gas emissions spewed by coal and natural gas plants, with the goal of saving over $300 billion and unleashing an abundance of American energy. For the two most recent Democratic presidents, Joe Biden and Barack Obama, this is like having all your work wiped out by a computer before you save it. Their tenures saw the government tighten emissions requirements from power plants to cars to prevent climate change from spiring out of control. In 2024, the Biden administration finalized a rule that required coal plants to add technology that would collect and trap emissions before they were released to the air, while forcing gas plants to operate on cleaner fuels like hydrogen.
