WASHINGTON— The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled a series of actions yesterday signaling review of several regulations. In addition, EPA will reconsider the Endangerment Finding, which concluded that greenhouse gases impair Americans’ current and future health and so should be regulated.   

Diana Furchtgott-Roth, director of the Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment at The Heritage Foundation commented on the news:  

“I applaud Administrator Zeldin for taking bold action to reconsider the 2009 Endangerment Finding. In 2025 more is known about the science behind climate change, and it’s high time to take another look at the data.  

 

“The Endangerment Finding, largely based upon outdated research from 2007, underpins a broad array of EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act. These include auto emissions regulations and the Obama-era Clean Power Plan, later overturned by the Supreme Court. EPA regulations have contributed to an increase in car prices, which are now almost $50,000 for a new car, up from $23,000 in 2009. It’s remarkable that the same people who decry the work of this administration are also the ones defending antiquated science. I’m glad to see Lee Zeldin taking action to bring the EPA into the 21st century.”
