The Trump administration is on the precipice of ending the Endangerment Finding, a rule that Democrats have used for years to impose harsh climate regulations, energy policy experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation. [emphasis, links added]
The Endangerment Finding, established in 2009 under the Obama Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), rules that greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), can be regulated for the sake of human health and the environment.
The underlying science was contested when the EPA established the rule, and the Endangerment Finding has since been used to impose draconian regulations on power plants, leading to closures across the country and paving the way for Democrat policies that forced electric vehicles (EVs) and appliances onto consumers, energy sector experts told the DCNF.
“The Endangerment Finding was the result of a highly politicized process relying on cherry-picked data meant to appease the wants of climate extremists. It quickly became a favorite tool of Democrat administrations and their left-wing allies to manipulate the economy in favor of their politically preferred technologies like wind, solar, and electric vehicles,” Mandy Gunasekara, author and former EPA Chief of Staff under the first Trump administration, told the DCNF.
