Arlington, VA— The American Consumer Institute submitted public comments in support of rescinding the 2009 Endangerment Finding (EF) and the repeal of all greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions standards for light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty vehicles and engines established under the Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 202(a) since 2010.
The scientific rationale leading to the EF is faulty and the legal parameters used to validate its passage are problematic. The measure has been used to justify heavy-handed legislation regulating ghg emissions, specifically a de facto electric vehicle (EV) mandate, which forces industries to manufacture specific technology and consumers to purchase particular products.
