By labeling carbon dioxide — a natural, life-sustaining gas — as a dangerous pollutant, the Environmental Protection Agency unleashed a wave of regulations that have shackled our auto industry, crippled our energy sector and burdened everyday Americans with higher costs. Now, under President Trump’s bold leadership and Administrator Lee Zeldin’s clear-eyed vision, the EPA is taking a historic stand to reverse this flawed policy.
