5 things to know about the Trump EPA’s proposed repeal of the ‘endangerment finding’ Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned - it is a pretty big deal. Trump trying to repeal the regulations / precedent that greenhouse gases are pollutants. If successful it could undermine decades of progress. Before you “global warming ain’t real” folks start celebrating - the fact is this is very disruptive to business. They have been working under a set of rules for about 15 years, which now could be gutted. Business and business models have adapted to this status quo and now they aren’t going to know what to do. Abandon 15 years of investment and processes, and hope they don’t all reverse again in 3.5 years? A business owner MAGA friend is pretty frustrated with Trump right now - Trump is severely impacting his pocket book. First the tariffs put much of their install business on standstill, because some parts were tariffed and orders were deferred. Now, this EPA stuff is a threat to their business model. One of the things they do is help grocery stores management EPA emissions - that’s a value add for them. Now if the EPA no longer cares then his customers may not care, and may not need/want help anymore.
