The US Environmental Protection Agency has announced a major deregulation of greenhouse gas emissions, effectively repealing 25-year-old emission standards for all light, medium, and heavy vehicles and engines of model years 2012 to 2027 and beyond. Host Monica de Bolle is joined by Jason Walsh (BlueGreen Alliance) to analyze the basis of the new Trump administration regulation, which rescinds the 2009 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Endangerment Finding and subsequent federal GHG emission standards, and how these rollbacks will affect public health, climate issues, and jobs in the United States. This podcast is produced by the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Music by Baegel/When I Hop/Courtesy of Epidemic Sound. Learn more about Jason Walsh. Learn more about Monica de Bolle.
