It’s official - President Donald Trump has officially rescinded the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2009 “endangerment finding”
As foreshadowed earlier this week and campaigned for by the good guys for a long time!.
From Brave AI – which Is more ‘woke than I thought:
“President Donald Trump has officially rescinded the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2009 “endangerment finding”, a landmark scientific determination that greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, endanger public health and welfare. The decision, finalized on February 12, 2026, marks the most aggressive rollback of U.S. climate policy to date.
“The endangerment finding served as the legal foundation for nearly all federal climate regulations under the Clean Air Act, including emissions standards for vehicles, power plants, oil and gas facilities, and other major pollution sources. By repealing it, the Trump administration effectively removes the regulatory basis for federal action on climate change.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin hailed the move as “the single largest deregulatory action in American history”, calling the finding “the Holy Grail of federal regulatory overreach.” The White House claims the repeal will save over $1 trillion and reduce vehicle costs by $2,400 per car by eliminating pressure to produce fuel-efficient or electric vehicles.
However, environmental groups, legal experts, and former officials warn the reversal is a severe blow to public health and climate resilience. Critics argue the move will increase air pollution, contribute to climate change, and could lead to up to 58,000 additional premature deaths and 37 million more asthma attacks over time. Legal challenges are expected, with some experts suggesting the administration may be seeking a Supreme Court ruling to make the repeal permanent.
Yay!
Onwards!!!
