President Donald Trump, through an executive order, has mandated the EPA to revisit the legality of the Endangerment Finding, a critical element of the Clean Air Act since 2009. This order is perceived as a strategy to alleviate regulatory burdens on the energy sector and position the U.S. more competitively in the global economy. The Endangerment Finding allows the EPA to regulate CO2 as a dangerous pollutant, a classification criticized for its flawed data and consequent elevated energy costs. The recent Supreme Court ruling supports the need for clear congressional authorization for significant regulatory actions, bolstering efforts against the EPA's current stance.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the EPA to reassess the legality and applicability of the Endangerment Finding, aiming to dismantle federal environmental regulations.
The 2009 EPA rule classifying CO2 as a harmful pollutant has been criticized for flawed data, supposedly resulting in higher energy bills and potential instability in the U.S. energy grid.
The recent Supreme Court decision emphasizes the need for agencies to have clear congressional authorization for significant actions, presenting further challenges to the Endangerment Finding.
Reassessing the Endangerment Finding is deemed essential for U.S. competitiveness and focusing on technological advancements without the restrictions of perceived misguided regulation.
