Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin said Tuesday that his agency will announce its intent to roll back the 2009 Endangerment Finding, the rule that allows the agency to regulate greenhouse gasses.
Zeldin said Tuesday on the conservative “Ruthless” podcast that the Endangerment Finding makes life more expensive for Americans and has been used to impose strict regulations on vehicles. Zeldin noted that the rule change will consider modern scientific data and be open to public comment, in line with the federal rulemaking process.
“This has been referred to as basically driving a dagger into the heart of the climate change religion,” Zeldin said. “How big is the Endangerment Finding? Well, repealing it will be the largest deregulatory action in the history of America.”
Due to President Trump’s strong mandate and leadership, I’m heading to Indianapolis with @SecretaryWright tomorrow to propose one of the largest deregulatory actions in US history. Stay tuned!

Zeldin is expected to announce the proposal to overturn the Obama-era rule from Indianapolis, Indiana, alongside the Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Indiana officials, including Republican Indiana Gov. Mike Braun, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita and Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Baird.
“Conservatives believe that we can both protect the environment and grow the economy. It’s not a choice. We are choosing to do both. And on top of it, that’s what the American public wants,” Zeldin said on the podcast.
