"The repeal of the 2009 endangerment finding - a conclusion based on decades of science that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare - represents one of the biggest environmental rollbacks in U.S. history, and the latest in a series of actions by President Trump to scrap policies and regulations designed to curb the use of fossil fuels and accelerate the transition to clean energy."
"The action will restore consumer choice, make more affordable vehicles available for American families, decrease the cost of living on all products by lowering the cost of trucks, and save Americans more than $1.3 trillion by removing regulatory requirements for motor vehicle standards, Zeldin said. "This is a big one if you're into the environment - this is about as big as it gets," President Trump said. Experts and scientists condemned the action."
The Trump administration reversed the 2009 EPA endangerment finding that concluded carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. The administration also dismantled federal emissions regulations for vehicle models and engines covering 2012 through 2027 and beyond. Officials claimed the rollbacks will restore consumer choice, lower vehicle and product costs, and save Americans more than $1.3 trillion by removing motor vehicle standards. Scientists and environmental groups condemned the decision as unprecedented and dangerous. California announced it will sue to block the repeal. The action represents a significant rollback of policies aimed at curbing fossil fuel use and advancing clean energy.
