An E.P.A. Plan to Kill a Major Climate Rule Is Worrying Business Leaders
Some carmakers and energy executives say the plan would trigger costly litigation and spur individual states to create a patchwork of tighter rules.

Climate-fueled disasters are upending lives across the U.S.—yet the EPA is proposing to repeal the Endangerment Finding, the legal backbone for limiting climate pollution.

How a retreat by the EPA would endanger the U.S. economy
Four years ago this month, Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 4 storm, packing 150-mile-an-hour winds. Over one million homes and businesses lost power. Oil production was shut down and key transportation, fuel and logistics supply chains across the nation were crippled for weeks. The storm caused more than $75 billion in economic damage. For many Americans, this reality crystalized how climate-fueled weather events are already upending daily lives. Escalating disasters since then, from flooding in North Carolina last year to this January’s Los Angeles fires, keep driving that point home.
