According to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, repealing these findings would be ’the largest deregulatory action in the history of America.’

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on July 29 proposed a repeal of its long-standing “endangerment findings” of a connection between individual motor vehicle emissions and changes in the climate, according to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.

It would repeal $1 trillion in regulations, saving $54 billion per year, according to the EPA.
