US EditionEPA Administrator Defends Administration’s Move to Revoke 2009 Finding Pollution Endangers Human Health | News Channel 3-12
UNITED STATES, AUG 3 – EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin argued the repeal will reduce costly regulations and limit future federal restrictions on fossil fuels, calling it the largest deregulatory action in U.S. history.
- On Sunday, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin challenged CNN’s Kasie Hunt, insisting the images shown during the appearance had 'nothing to do' with the Tuesday announcement ending the 2009 Endangerment Finding.
- In March, talks to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding began with the Office of Management and Budget, and the EPA formally submitted the request by June 30, 2025.
- Amid questions over climate modeling, Zeldin argued many pessimistic views from 2009 did not pan out and that the EPA can rely on 2025 facts instead of 2009 assumptions, citing recent Supreme Court rulings.
- Such a repeal could eliminate EPA's key mechanism for controlling climate pollution, and Zeldin said instituting the proposal would be the largest deregulatory action in American history.
- Beyond immediate impacts, the new policy could make it harder for future Democratic regimes to impose strict fossil fuel regulations and grant consumers more freedom of choice and potentially lower costs.
