Trump Administration Moves to Loosen Restrictions It Once Supported on a Harmful Pollutant

The Trump administration is reversing a 2020 law that aimed to reduce greenhouse gases from cooling equipment, resulting in a shift away from the bipartisan consensus on phasing out hydrofluorocarbons that drive global warming.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin stated that the new proposal will help make American refrigerants affordable, safe, and reliable again while responding to concerns from businesses over compliance with previous rules.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin stated that the rule was restricting access to refrigerants and increasing costs, adding that it did not give companies enough time to comply.
Industry representatives argue that rolling back the HFC phaseout will create uncertainty and potentially increase costs for consumers, while environmentalists warn it will exacerbate climate pollution.
