Zeldin revealed plans to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding during a speech at an Indianapolis auto dealership on Tuesday, promising to “end sixteen years of uncertainty for automakers and American consumers” with “the largest deregulatory announcement in US history.”
“In our work so far, 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,” said the former Long Island congressman.
Stringent rules on power plants that stem from the Endangerment Finding have led to closures of coal facilities around the U.S. and weakened the electrical grid, spiking the risk of blackouts, experts have explained to the DCNF previously. After years of static electricity demand, the wave of power plant closures and the anticipation of new data centers has led to projections that the U.S. may be unable to meet its power needs in the near future, according to industry experts and a recent Department of Energy (DOE) report.
“We’re now at a point where we’re facing frequent blackouts… because there’s too much wind and solar in the system,” Myron Ebell, former director for the Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and leader of the Trump EPA transition team in 2016, told the DCNF. Ebell explained that energy technology like coal provides baseload power, and a heavy reliance on intermittent sources like wind and solar tanks the reliability of the electrical grid. He also noted that there is a correlation between high electricity costs and a strong dependence on resources like wind and solar.
Of course the lefties are screaming that this is going to ruin the environment blah blah blah. They’re the ones that think that wind power is environmentally friendly too so they can just walk in the direction of their choice until their hats float.
