The EPA has announced an initiative to reconsider over two dozen key environmental regulations, particularly those limiting climate pollution from vehicles and power plants. Administrator Lee Zeldin referred to this as one of the most significant deregulation efforts in U.S. history. This includes a critical review of the 'endangerment finding' from 2009, which links greenhouse gases to health risks. The proposed changes have raised alarms among climate advocates, with concerns about public health and future climate policy direction, exceeding expectations of past administrations' deregulations.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced yesterday plans to target more than two dozen rules and policies, including those regulating climate pollution from vehicles and power plants.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin deemed it the 'most consequential day of deregulation in U.S. history.' The implications of this announcement remain uncertain regarding potential weakening or elimination of regulations.
NPR's Jeff Brady highlights that the 'endangerment finding,' established in 2009, is crucial as it underpins many U.S. climate regulations.
The Environmental Integrity Project criticized the EPA's action, stating it drives 'a dagger straight into the heart of public health.'
