The Trump administration moved Tuesday to roll back an Obama-era finding that greenhouse gas emissions posed a threat to human health. The proposal to roll back the endangerment finding is expected to set off a protracted legal battle that would likely take years to resolve.
Were the Trump administration to prevail, it would potentially prevent future administrations from reinstating the endangerment finding, leaving states to regulate greenhouse gas emissions alone, Bracewell’s Jeff Holmstead told the Houston Chronicle.
“Certainly people in industry are concerned,” Holmstead said. “Trying to undo the endangerment finding is likely to face an uphill battle in court.”
