Gov. Janet Mills Reacts to Trump Administration’s Reversal of Obama-Era Declaration Underpinning Greenhouse Gas Regulation

On Thursday, the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reversed an Obama-era declaration that has served as the basis for the government’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
Known as the Endangerment Finding, this 2009 declaration states that the “current and projected concentrations” of greenhouse gases “threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.”
This stemmed from a 2007 Supreme Court ruling that greenhouse gases are a category of air pollutant covered by the Clean Air Act, opening the door for the EPA to determine under Section 202(a) if they can reasonably be understood to pose a threat to “public health or welfare.”
President Donald Trump (R) called the move “the single largest deregulatory action in American history, by far” while EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin referred to the endangerment finding as “the Holy Grail of federal regulatory overreach,” according to the Associated Press.
The president went on to say that he was glad to repeal “a disastrous Obama-era policy that severely damaged the American auto industry and massively drove up prices for American consumers.”
“[The endangerment finding] had no basis in fact, had none whatsoever, and it had no basis in law,” President Trump said at a White House ceremony Thursday. “On the contrary, over the generations, fossil fuels have saved millions of lives and lifted billions of people out of poverty all over the world.”

Combat climate pollution? What kind of idiot statement is that?
The best way to improve Maine is to:
1) get rid of all the corrupt, criminal, useless, government-program-sucking, walk ins/ fly ins, and
2) reduce government headcount by 50%, and
2) have all new buildings be passive solar, and as energy efficient as possible, so they will need a minimum of energy for heating, cooling and electricity
