5 Things to Know About the Trump EPA’s Proposed Repeal of the ‘Endangerment Finding’
INDIANA, JUL 29 – The EPA aims to cut over $1 trillion in regulations and save $54 billion annually by rescinding the 2009 Endangerment Finding that underpins greenhouse gas rules.
- On Tuesday, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a proposal to rescind the ‘holy grail of the climate change religion’ endangerment finding, with a public comment period open until late September.
- Long ago, the 2009 endangerment finding originated when the Obama-era EPA concluded emissions from new motor vehicles endanger public health and welfare, stating gases like methane and carbon dioxide pose risks.
- Regulatory analysis shows the ‘holy grail of the climate change religion’ finding, which underpins over $1 trillion in regulations, would be undone if rolled back, Zeldin said.
- With the proposal pending, the public comment period is open until late September, and environmental groups and states are expected to launch legal challenges.
- Long-Term projections suggest rescinding the 'holy grail of the climate change religion' would end limits on vehicle tailpipes and power plant smokestacks, with Clark estimating benefits of $1.7 trillion to $8.2 trillion over three decades.

US Environmental Protection Agency proposes to end regulation of greenhouse gases for highway vehicles
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed rescinding the 2009 Endangerment Finding for Greenhouse Gases. Because this finding gives the EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from vehicles, rescinding it would also mean repealing all regulations governing GHG emissions from highway vehicles.
