Prime Mover Institute’s Supplemental Comment on EPA’s Reconsideration of 2009 Endangerment Finding and Greenhouse Gas Vehicle Standards

The Prime Mover Institute writes to reiterate its strong support of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed rule to reconsider the 2009 Endangerment Finding and to repeal the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards for motor vehicles. As stated in our initial comments, this proposal represents a necessary and long-overdue restoration of the rule of law and a return to EPA’s proper statutory lane. For too long, EPA has allowed Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act to be weaponized to force a transformation of the American transportation sector that Congress never authorized—a transformation that threatens American energy dominance, grid reliability, and consumer choice. This coup-by-regulation should never have happened. By rescinding these mandates, EPA is correctly prioritizing the text of the statute and the economic realities of the American people over the ideological preferences of the catastrophists and the “anti-industry industry.”
