EPA Reopens Consideration of National Climate Pollution Cap

For Immediate Release, March 5, 2021 Contact: EPA Reopens Consideration of National Climate Pollution Cap Agency Withdraws Trump Administration Midnight Denial WASHINGTON The Environmental Protection Agency has reopened consideration of a nationwide greenhouse gas pollution cap under the Clean Air Act, moving Thursday to withdraw the Trump administration’s last-day denial of a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity and 350.org. “By undoing Trump’s denial, the Biden administration has created a chance to enact the most consequential protection we’ve ever had for our climate,” said Maya Golden-Krasner, deputy director of the Center’s Climate Law Institute. “When it comes to dealing with rising seas and tinder-box landscapes and helping polluted communities, nothing less will cut it. A national pollution cap would be a climate game-changer.”
