From fear to lawsuits: Sustainability community reacts to EPA Endangerment Finding repeal
"Private industry will likely have to continue the push forward, as it has historically, for progress."
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) this week repealed a 2009 finding that greenhouse gas emissions are harmful to human health – dismantling the basis for many types of air pollution regulation.
The Trump administration argues that the repeal will save US taxpayers over US$1.3 trillion and eliminate federal GHG emission standards for all vehicles and engines of model years 2012 to 2027 and beyond, “restoring consumer choice” and reducing the cost of trucks.
