Among the flurry of executive orders handed down by President Trump related to the energy sector, he not only put the brakes on funding Joe Biden’s so-called Inflation Reduction Act, but also sacked Creepy Joe’s household appliance regulations.
Trump’s executive order requires the EPA to use real science for its rulemaking.
The calculation of the “social cost of carbon” is marked by logical deficiencies, a poor basis in empirical science, politicization, and the absence of a foundation in legislation. Its abuse arbitrarily slows regulatory decisions and, by rendering the United States economy internationally uncompetitive, encourages a greater human impact on the environment by affording less efficient foreign energy producers a greater share of the global energy and natural resource market.
Consequently, within 60 days of the date of this order, the Administrator of the EPA shall issue guidance to address these harmful and detrimental inadequacies, including consideration of eliminating the “social cost of carbon” calculation from any Federal permitting or regulatory decision.
Not only will Americans enjoy an abundance of energy due to being able to tap our natural resources, best of all, we will keep our gas stoves!
