Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin on Tuesday released the agency’s proposal to rescind what he has described as the “holy grail of the climate change religion,” which has led to over a trillion dollars in regulatory impact.
Zeldin made the announcement to repeal the Obama-era Endangerment Finding at an auto dealer in Indiana alongside U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, Gov. Mike Braun (R-IN), Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, and American Trucking Association President and CEO Chris Spear.
The EPA has said the Endangerment Finding has been used to justify over $1 trillion in regulations, including the Biden-Harris administration’s electric vehicle mandate. Scrapping the so-called Endangerment Finding would repeal all of the greenhouse emissions regulations for motor vehicles and engines and give Americans consumer choice.
The Endangerment Finding created the legal basis for the agency to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, believing that the emissions serve as an alleged threat to public health and welfare.
Zeldin explained in a Breitbart Fight Club Roundtable that the Endangerment Finding never made a “straight-line conclusion” that carbon dioxide from motor vehicle engines caused “endangerment.” He described this finding as the “holy grail of the climate change religion.”

This is the biggest freedom step yet.
Let’s get rid of all the regulations. Let’s have laws passed by Congress. All the other stuff is just power-hungry bureaucrats saying, “Look at me! I’m important!”
This will be a fight to the death. Trump wins this one it’s game over.
How many clerks are at this minute, writing the basis for the interfering judges ?
Gotta be dozens as I write.
New from DoE today:
A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate
Among the key findings, the report concludes that carbon dioxide (CO2) -induced warming appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation strategies could be more harmful than beneficial. Additionally, the report finds that U.S. policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate and any effects will emerge only with long delays.

The Report is authored by DOE’s Climate Working Group (CWG):
John Christy, Judith Curry, Steve Koonin, Ross McKitrick, Roy Spencer

If it was a regulation put in place by a previous EPA can it not be tossed out by the current EPA??????
I realize that the democrats will have a hundred judges lined up to keep it but....
Hallelujah! I remember when the EPA ruled carbon dioxide was a pollutant, I was beside myself. Unscientific and unjustified.
Awesome, if it happens...
This is one of the communists’ principal strategies for controlling the serfs...
The screaming, ranting, and shouting is going to be glorious when this happens...
When?
Toilets that flush, shower heads that rinse!!
“If it was a regulation put in place by a previous EPA can it not be tossed out by the current EPA???”
One judge has ruled that Congress cannot pass a law restricting planned parenthood funding. Yet when you read the Constitution, you will see nothing giving Federal judges, or even SCOTUS this power.
Oh. I agree with you. A judge will immediately declare that previous EPA regulations are protected by the Constitution.
It’s in the ORANGE MAN BAD Clause.
It only takes ONE bought-and-paid-for Agenda-Driven Judge to slap a TRO NATIONWIDE, to block implementation.
ANYONE think CA is gonna stand for their stranglehold on "Emissions" to be rescinded? Climate Change to be recognized as Fake News (for profit)?
Next I want him to end the California emissions standards for cars. A car manufactured anywhere in the United States should be legal in all 50 states. If there was anything that was restraint of interstate commerce, that would be it.
the judge will employ
“ketanji logic”

Diesel engines with low pressure fuel rails! :-)
Get ethanol out of gasoline!
And no more DEF!
The commie rats simply changed the wording from, “Money out of thin air,” to, “CO2 is a pollutant.”
