The EPA’s endangerment finding belongs on the ash heap of history
02/13/2025 / By News Editors



On January 20, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Unleashing American Energy,” which requires EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to “submit recommendations…on the legality and continuing applicability” of the Endangerment Finding within 30 days.

(Article by Chrs Talgo republished from TownHall.com)

Most Americans have probably never heard of the Endangerment Finding, however, this obscure rule has effectively allowed the federal government to label carbon dioxide a harmful “pollutant” that can be regulated under the Clean Air Act.

This is a prime example of government gone wild. The Clean Air Act was never intended to allow the EPA to declare carbon dioxide to be a dangerous pollutant. Rather, it was designed to “address the public health and welfare risks posed by certain widespread air pollutants.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The entire EPA belongs on the ash heap of history if you ask me!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

And the EPA endangers the country by not including any economic benefit or loss as part of its findings.
