Hallelujah!

The 2009 so-called “endangerment finding” was always a farce – a frontal assault against economic progress, energy usage, and higher living standards. It was a regressive tax hitting poor households the hardest. The ruling was completely unscientific, as there is no evidence that carbon dioxide is a pollutant or a danger to human health the way lead or sulfur make people sick. Virtually all of the major climate-related crises on the planet happened centuries BEFORE fossil fuels were ever burned.

EPA director Lee Zeldin boasted correctly that this order is “one of the most consequential regulatory rollbacks in American history.” The savings and efficiency gains from this repeal could be in the multiple trillions of dollars over the next two decades.
