Former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) staffers, now at environmental groups, have moved to kill the repeal of what is considered to be the “holy grail of the climate change religion.” Last July, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin released the agency’s proposal to repeal the Obama-era Endangerment Finding, which the agency has sued to justify over $1 trillion in regulations, including the Biden-Harris administration’s electric vehicle mandate. Eliminating the Endangerment Finding would repeal many greenhouse gas emissions regulations for motor vehicles and give Americans more consumer choice.
The Endangerment Finding created the legal basis for the agency to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, believing that the emissions serve as an alleged threat to public health and welfare. Zeldin explained in a Breitbart Fight Club Roundtable that the Endangerment Finding never made a “straight-line conclusion” that carbon dioxide from motor vehicle engines caused “endangerment.” He described this finding as the “holy grail of the climate change religion.”
