Republican former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials say Administrator Lee Zeldin’s plan to revoke the agency’s landmark 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding faces major legal hurdles and thus might be a poor strategy to implement the Trump administration’s agenda of scaling back the agency’s climate rules.
Bracewell’s Jeff Holmstead, who led EPA’s air office during the George W. Bush administration, told Inside EPA he does not think the agency “will be successful in reversing the endangerment finding. I don’t think it will hold up in court.”
