So the analogy that I like to give is have you ever been in a hotel room and when you go into the hotel room you walk
00:00:06
in and you try to turn on the lights and you can't turn on the lights. You have
00:00:11
to put your key into a slot by the door. So the endangerment finding is the EPA putting its key in the slot that then
00:00:19
allows it to issue regulations to address that air pollutant. So in 2009 the EPA issued the endangerment
00:00:25
finding lots of scientific evidence demonstrating this you know harm to human health and the environment and
00:00:31
then subsequently the EPA issued regulations to address greenhouse gas emissions from power plants to address
00:00:39
greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles and then Trump two comes in and instead of just trying to repeal the
00:00:47
regulations that the Biden administration adopted they're going kind of for the nuclear option
00:00:54
which is taking the key out of that slot by the door.
