July 29 (UPI) -- Environmental Protection Agency officials might end the agency's prior "endangerment finding" for greenhouse gas emissions and repeal regulations for motor vehicles and engines.
The endangerment finding triggered the creation of $1 trillion in federal regulations, including an electric vehicle mandate, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said during a press event at an Indianapolis auto dealership on Tuesday.
"The Trump EPA is proposing to end 16 years of uncertainty for automakers and American consumers," Zeldin said in a news release.
"Many stakeholders have told me that the Obama and Biden EPAs twisted the law, ignored precedent and warped science to achieve their preferred ends and stick American families with hundreds of billions of dollars in hidden taxes every single year," Zeldin said.
