Trump's Move Revokes EPA Finding to Slash Regulations
Donald Trump revoked the 2009 Environmental Protection Agency endangerment finding that classified greenhouse gases as a public health threat to dismantle federal emissions regulations.The administration claims the move will save taxpayers $1.3 trillion and reduce vehicle costs by $2,400, while Lee Zeldin described it as the largest deregulatory action in USA history.Critics including
John Kerry and
Barack Obama warned the decision could lead to 58,000 premature deaths and an additional 18 billion tonnes of emissions by 2055.
