The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) scrapping of its endangerment finding may be the most significant move yet in President Donald Trump’s campaign to scrap environmental regulations which he argues have hurt American industry and driven up consumer prices. Health and climate groups have already sued the Trump administration to try to block its elimination of the endangerment finding.
“The Trump folks have been pretty clear about wanting to get this rule out quickly so they will still be in office to defend it in the Supreme Court, and they’ve put together some legal arguments that could get at least five votes in the Supreme Court,” Bracewell’s Jeff Holmstead told the Financial Times.
“If the courts uphold the rule, no future EPA will be able to regulate greenhouse gases,” he added.
