"Bad for Americans and bad for the planet"
"The EPA is revoking the finding for legal, not scientific, reasons."
"By revoking its 17-year-old scientific finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare, the Environmental Protection Agency will demolish the legal underpinning of its authority to act on climate change under the Clean Air Act."
""President Trump will be taking the most significant deregulatory actions in history to further unleash American energy dominance and drive down costs," White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday."
The Environmental Protection Agency is revoking its 17-year-old endangerment finding, citing legal rather than scientific reasons, which removes the legal foundation to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. The repeal will undercut federal authority to limit pollution from vehicles, power plants, and other industries and paves the way for rolling back mercury and air toxics standards. Administrator Lee Zeldin will join President Trump at an event promoting increased coal use as the administration frames the actions as historic deregulation to boost energy dominance and reduce costs. States, cities, and climate advocates plan legal challenges and warn of dirtier air, higher costs, and greater climate risks.
