US Edition5 Things to Know About the Trump EPA’s Proposed Repeal of the ‘Endangerment Finding’
INDIANA, JUL 29 – The EPA aims to cut over $1 trillion in regulations and save $54 billion annually by rescinding the 2009 Endangerment Finding that underpins greenhouse gas rules.
- On Tuesday, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a proposal to rescind the ‘holy grail of the climate change religion’ endangerment finding, with a public comment period open until late September.
- Long ago, the 2009 endangerment finding originated when the Obama-era EPA concluded emissions from new motor vehicles endanger public health and welfare, stating gases like methane and carbon dioxide pose risks.
- Regulatory analysis shows the ‘holy grail of the climate change religion’ finding, which underpins over $1 trillion in regulations, would be undone if rolled back, Zeldin said.
- With the proposal pending, the public comment period is open until late September, and environmental groups and states are expected to launch legal challenges.
- Long-Term projections suggest rescinding the 'holy grail of the climate change religion' would end limits on vehicle tailpipes and power plant smokestacks, with Clark estimating benefits of $1.7 trillion to $8.2 trillion over three decades.
