This statement on the administration formally revoking the endangerment finding, the key legal finding that allows the federal government to regulate greenhouse gases, may be attributed to Carbon Capture Coalition executive director, Jessie Stolark. The Coalition is a collaboration of companies, labor unions, and nonprofits working to build support for carbon management policies:
“As we have stated before, the facts are clear – greenhouse gas emissions are the main contributing factor to a rapidly changing climate, and a majority of American voters want their elected officials to address global warming in a pragmatic way.
“Regardless of whether the administration is successful in its repeal, American businesses recognize that consumers, ranging from corporate buyers to municipalities, states, and foreign governments, are demanding cleaner energy and materials. This will require domestic industries to continue investing in technologies to reduce emissions across supply chains, like carbon capture and direct air capture. Additionally, domestic industries will continue to prove the emissions intensity of their products to continue allowing cleaner American-made energy and products to compete in the global marketplace.”
