A dedicated group of conservative activists and legal strategists is nearing a landmark victory in their 16-year campaign to pressure the U.S. federal government into revoking the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 'Endangerment Finding' during the upcoming 2025 transition of power. This legal cornerstone, established in 2009, authorizes the government to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act by classifying them as threats to public health and welfare. The group's long-term objective is to dismantle the underlying legal framework that enables federal intervention in climate change, thereby ending decades of environmental mandates across various sectors of the American economy. The push against the Endangerment Finding began shortly after its inception during the Obama administration, led by a tight-knit coalition of climate skeptics and free-market advocates. For over a decade and a half, these activists have filed lawsuits, drafted policy memos, and lobbied lawmakers to argue that the EPA overstepped its constitutional authority by treating carbon dioxide as a pollutant. While their efforts were largely sidelined during previous administrations, the group has successfully cultivated a political environment where their views are no longer fringe, but central to the platform of modern conservative energy policy. Legal experts suggest that if the finding is successfully rescinded, it would create a massive regulatory vacuum. Without the Endangerment Finding, the legal obligation for the federal government to limit carbon output from power plants, vehicles, and industrial facilities would effectively evaporate. This would not only revert previous climate milestones but also insulate future administrations from being forced by the courts to take action on global warming, as the legal prerequisite for such mandates would no longer exist. As the political landscape shifts towards a potential rollback of federal regulations, the activists view the current moment as a 'total victory' for their long-game strategy. By focusing on the administrative 'roots' of climate policy rather than fighting individual regulations one by one, the coalition has positioned itself to fundamentally reshape the relationship between the U.S. government and environmental science for decades to come.
