WASHINGTON — Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin is moving to repeal an Obama-era emissions finding he once dubbed the “holy grail of the climate change religion” that underpinned $1 trillion in regulations — leading to higher energy costs for more than a decade.
Zeldin revealed plans to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding during a speech at an Indianapolis auto dealership on Tuesday, promising to “end sixteen years of uncertainty for automakers and American consumers” with “the largest deregulatory announcement in US history.”
“In our work so far, many stakeholders have told me that the Obama and Biden EPAs twisted the law, ignored precedent, and warped science to achieve their preferred ends and stick American families with hundreds of billions of dollars in hidden taxes every single year,” said the former Long Island congressman…
“Since the Obama EPA illegally issued its unconstitutional endangerment finding in 2009, more than half of the US coal industry has been destroyed, electricity prices have soared, and the average price of cars has almost doubled,” said Steve Milloy, senior fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute and an adviser to Trump’s EPA transition team.
“Where do wrongly terminated coal miners, wrecked coal industry-dependent communities and ripped-off consumers go for redress of the injuries inflicted by a climate-hoaxed crazed federal government?”
