Trump EPA Makes New Climate Move
In a bold move to roll back one of the most damaging climate policies of the last two decades, President Donald Trump’s administration is set to eliminate a controversial Obama-era regulation that opened the floodgates to trillions in costly mandates.
EPA Chief: Time to End the Climate Change Power Grab
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin confirmed Wednesday that the agency has officially submitted a proposal to repeal the 2009 “Endangerment Finding”—a ruling used by the Obama and Biden administrations to justify massive government overreach in the name of fighting climate change.
“This was never about protecting the planet—it was about control,” Zeldin told Newsmax. “Through this so-called Endangerment Finding, Americans were saddled with endless climate mandates, electric vehicle requirements, and skyrocketing costs.”
What Was the Endangerment Finding?
The 2009 ruling claimed that common greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane were a “threat to public health.” It provided the legal basis for radical emissions rules and pushed the auto industry toward costly electric vehicle (EV) production—despite little consumer demand and rising EV sticker prices.
Trump’s Move: Restoring Energy Freedom and Consumer Choice
While Biden’s EPA quietly used the regulation to force a backdoor EV mandate, Trump’s team is fighting back. Repealing the Endangerment Finding would end the federal government’s ability to micromanage the energy sector and car industry through unelected climate czars.
This move is expected to benefit working-class Americans, small businesses, truckers, and seniors hit hardest by inflation and rising fuel prices.
American Energy Under Attack — Until Now
The climate change agenda has driven up the cost of gas, home heating, groceries, and vehicles. Trump’s action marks a turning point, bringing regulatory sanity back to Washington and putting American workers, consumers, and industries first.
Bottom Line: President Trump is dismantling another cornerstone of the climate change hoax—restoring jobs, energy independence, and economic freedom.
