Endangerment regulations paved the way for Electric Vehicle Mandates
Global warming. Global cooling. Climate change. Clean air regulations. CO2. Climate regulations. Global climate fight.
Most people just call it weather – atmospheric conditions. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin is proposing the largest deregulatory action in the history of the United States, by repealing the 2009 Obama EPA “Endangerment Finding,” the central basis for much of the U.S.’s climate policy, which directed all the greenhouse gas regulations on vehicles that followed, and the much despised start/stop feature.
The Endangerment Finding, is a finding under the Clean Air Act that claims greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare.
The regulation has been used to justify over $1 trillion in regulations, including the Biden-Harris Administration’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate.
