00:00:00
So the analogy that I like to give is
00:00:02
have you ever been in a hotel room and
00:00:04
when you go into the hotel room you walk
00:00:06
in and you try to turn on the lights and
00:00:08
you can't turn on the lights. You have
00:00:11
to put your key into a slot by the door.
00:00:14
So the endangerment finding is the EPA
00:00:16
putting its key in the slot that then
00:00:19
allows it to issue regulations
00:00:22
to address that air pollutant. So in
00:00:23
2009 the EPA issued the endangerment
00:00:25
finding lots of scientific evidence
00:00:27
demonstrating this you know harm to
00:00:30
human health and the environment and
00:00:31
then subsequently the EPA issued
00:00:35
regulations to address greenhouse gas
00:00:37
emissions from power plants to address
00:00:39
greenhouse gas emissions from motor
00:00:41
vehicles and then Trump two comes in and
00:00:44
instead of just trying to repeal the
00:00:47
regulations that the Biden
00:00:49
administration adopted they're going
00:00:51
kind of for the nuclear option
00:00:54
which is taking the key out of that slot
00:00:56
by the door.
