Trump’s EPA Revokes ‘Endangerment Finding’ that Conflated Beneficial Carbon Dioxide with Pollution
Carbon dioxide is essential to life and photosynthesis of plants, it is not a pollutant. Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rescinded the 2009 Obama-era “Endangerment Finding,” a determination that ‘greenhouse gases’ threaten public health and welfare that Trump says has been used by the radical left to justify $1.3 trillion in regulatory costs that have sent consumer prices soaring, especially for automobiles.
Zeldin said all greenhouse gas emissions standards on light, medium and heavy duty vehicles that followed the endangerment finding have been eliminated. “No longer will automakers be pressured to shift their fleets towards electric vehicles,” he said.
Trump has sought to unleash fossil fuel production in the US and kill Biden administration efforts to transition to inefficient renewable energy and electric vehicles. He withdrew the US from the Paris Climate Agreement and has repealed key tax subsidies for solar, wind and EVs.
There will be legal challenges to the new policy. Businesses are uncertain that the new rule will continue after Trump leaves office.
