For 16 years, the so-called Endangerment Finding has been the weapon of choice for climate change zealots in Washington. Created by the Obama EPA in 2009, it justified trillions of dollars in regulations, restricted which cars could be manufactured, and drove up the cost of living for American families. It pushed this country toward an unpopular electric vehicle mandate, imposed crushing compliance requirements, and promoted a new level of government overreach that has made hardworking Americans’ blood boil.
On Thursday, standing alongside President Trump in the White House, Lee Zeldin announced that the Endangerment Finding has been eliminated — and with it, all federal greenhouse gas emissions standards for vehicles and engines that followed.
This is the single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history, and it will save American taxpayers over $1.3 trillion. The action will result in an average savings of more than $2,400 per vehicle. By eliminating regulatory compliance costs, we are making it easier for families to buy the car they actually want — improving affordability and helping Americans reach jobs, grow small businesses and participate fully in the transportation and logistics systems that power the U.S. economy.
As an added bonus, the incentive for one of the most unpopular features in modern vehicles — the automatic start-stop system — has been eliminated. I heard how much Americans hate this feature while visiting all 50 states this past year. The system shuts off the engine at red lights, drains batteries faster and delivers no meaningful environmental benefit. It was nothing more than a climate participation trophy — a regulatory incentive that let automakers claim green credits on paper without delivering real-world results.
Automakers should never be forced to adopt — or be rewarded for — technologies Americans don’t want. The Trump EPA will choose consumer choice over climate posturing every time.
Let me be clear about why we took this action: The American people demanded it, and the law required it. The Obama administration stretched the Clean Air Act beyond recognition to claim that carbon dioxide from tailpipes — combined with five other gases, some of which vehicles do not even emit — constituted “air pollution” that contributed to global climate change and endangered public health and welfare. For decades, the EPA understood that the Clean Air Act addressed pollution that directly harms people’s health in their communities — not global climate policy. But the Obama-Biden administration twisted the law to seize power it was never given, and the Endangerment Finding was its weapon of choice.
Since then, the Supreme Court has made clear in landmark decisions such as Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and West Virginia v. EPA that agencies cannot twist statutes to seize power Congress never granted. Major policy decisions of this magnitude belong to Congress, not unelected bureaucrats. Unlike our predecessors, the Trump EPA follows the law as written and as Congress intended — not as climate activists might wish it to be.
TRUMP ESCALATES BATTLE WITH NEWSOM, SHUTTING DOWN GOVERNOR’S LEFT-WING RULES ROCKING CAR INDUSTRY
These same activists do not want Americans to know that their wildly unfounded predictions never came true. The Endangerment Finding was built on projections and assumptions that did not materialize over the past 16 years. The same types of models relied on by previous administrations and climate activists to bolster the Endangerment Finding failed to withstand scrutiny. The Trump EPA now finds that even if the United States eliminated all greenhouse gas emissions from every vehicle on the road, there would be no material impact on global climate change — the core assumption used in 2009 to justify these regulations.
Let that sink in: Trillions of dollars in unnecessary costs were imposed on American families. Americans lost freedoms that should never have been taken away. The Trump EPA creates policy rooted in reality, not ideology.
This was not a decision we made lightly. We conducted a transparent rulemaking process with a 52-day public comment period, four days of virtual public hearings where more than 600 people testified, and roughly 572,000 public comments. We listened, made substantial updates and delivered.
Affordable vehicle ownership is at the heart of the American Dream. It is how families get to work, how small businesses move goods and how millions of Americans in rural communities without public transit access health care, education and opportunity. It remains one of the primary drivers of economic mobility in the United States.
The regulations built on the Endangerment Finding placed new vehicles further out of reach for American families. The Obama and Biden administrations’ push toward EV mandates pressured automakers to scale back traditional gasoline and diesel trucks and reengineer fleets toward technologies they argue are uneconomic and infeasible. The cost of these climate policies fell hardest on Americans who could least afford it.
President Trump promised to unleash American energy, revive the American auto industry and put the American people first. Today, we delivered on that promise in what we believe is the largest deregulatory action and cost-saving measure for Americans in U.S. history. The era of government-knows-best climate regulation is over. The American Dream is back. Promises made, promises kept.
Lee Zeldin is the 17th administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. He represented New York’s 1st Congressional District from 2015 to 2023.
If you’re still there, bob, ta but maybe off topic. The “topic” was on toxic car emissions although somewhat confer with Legal/Lawful comments. Video was based on Darryl’s First Hand Experience super-charging Moffat cars. Ford REFUSED to implement this research, as the “device” would cost $20 per vehicle. Yet drastically reduces emissions, smaller engine for same power, millions of km longevity instead of just thousands, all at far greater saving of $20 per vehicle!!!
May even eliminate the “need” for troublesome car computer engine management & performance-choking anti-polluting gear in the internal combustion engine thereby reducing acid rain world-wide, without having to extract the Earth for Lithium or other rare elements.
Have you watched the entire 3-hour presentation? It even “pioneers” the use of ammonia-derivates for fuel, being 3 parts hydrogen & 1 part nitrogen. A potential & viable carrier for the Hydrogen Economy may actually be around the corner. Found these VERY interesting=

https://youtu.be/PWjwzAiqfXU Hydrogen Powerpaste: 10x Higher Energy Density & Safe? 13:05
https://youtu.be/boIvJFkeyOY Proton battery: Better than lithium batteries? 16:31
On legal/lawful, courts are NOT a level playing field, & only very few non-accredited can “perform” in these privately-owned venues, but some do. Our very-own local Solutions Empowerment group helped super-charge Cal Washington’s world-wide InPower movement. Haven’t watched Adriana yet but looks interesting.
On Darren, i’ve also asked him, & others, why tax/rates are considered a Civil matter, when Malum Prohibitum (Black’s Law definition) says the breaking of a statute is Criminal, although not morally wrong. The Annotated Constitution says “every breach of a public statute is a criminal offence”, not Civil. Perhaps, bob, this is a key to the fraud of corporatised government. I’d be fascinated if you’d like to research & reply.
My own “off-topic” related to enormous raw energy beyond 3 dimensions. But human arrogance (& ignorance) refuses to admit a multitude of beings of far greater wisdom & technology are watching & waiting! Re-read the rest of the post, ESPECIALLY regarding the need for Mankind to Federate world-wide, & not be brainwashed by fear-induced New World Order arguments, & the like.
Cheers
It’s official….tranny covaids tyrant, old Horseface is moving to Australia…but fortunately not to my state 🐴 – https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-26/former-new-zealand-prime-minister-jacinda-ardern-moves-australia/106392862
” in the $5m-$6m range,” – Why do all these former politicians have so much money to throw around?? – What’s the matter Jacinda, afraid to go back to NZ?
re: “Jabcinta Ardern (aka: “old Horseface”) is considering moving to Australia ”
Lotsa Kiwis come to Oz to run in the Melbourne Cup. But her allegedly being a Dame and all it’ll be a bit of a worry if she roots herself in some Aussie paddock and we pay for the delivery costs.
Tell me this isn’t true….Covid tyrant and WEF puppet, Jabcinta Ardern (aka: “old Horseface”) is considering moving to Australia 🤦♂️ – https://www.realestate.com.au/news/exnew-zealand-prime-minister-jacinda-ardern-considering-move-to-australia/?campaignType=external&campaignChannel=syndication&campaignName=ncacont&campaignContent=&campaignSource=herald_sun&campaignPlacement=spa
FYI Korten: Darryl O’Brien is an authority more on the LEGAL realm rather than the lawful realm.
His CLRA was always waffling on about the Constitution, but he and Darren Dixon were always, on the HKno0w Your Rights Show, crapping on about LEGAL, which is not much use to anyone though good to know, because one cannot perform in a ;EGAL venue if you are not a trained lawyer and member of the BAR Association, as it is a privately owned venue, which is actually owned by the Rothschilds.
Darryl has never, as far as I know, told any of his adherents that.
As a matter of interest, I read somewhere, some months ago, that the Vatican was on hand when the BAR Association was being set up, which, if true, would not be a surprise.
And the Vatican owns all the Birth Certificates, eve the Muslims’ ones, as my Muslim doctor told me once, when I asked him, that Muslims carry their BCs around as ID.
And I asked Darren Dixon once how could he expect to achieve a lawful outcome in LEGAL venue?
I never got a reply.
SO if you must watch a video, watch this one, about a Private Attorney-General who goes into courts in the US and makes judged stand down:

Last I heard, CO2 falls to the ground. Just as well, because plants on the ground like eating it in order to provide us with Oxygen. In fact, it ensures we thrive on its ‘greenhouse’ effect because it actually assists plant growth, even though it’s got nothing to do with so called “greenhouse gases”. The FAKE Greenies are full of politics. And that means Sex, Lies and Videotapes.
In the old days, you would just put a ball bearing in the hose that opened the ‘exhaust gas re-circulation device’. Then computers came along and the ball bearing no longer worked, so you would put a resistor in the harness to the computer to keep the device closed. Catalytic converters weren’t too much of a problem, except in the down pipe off the turbo. So, you would ‘inspect’ the down pipe and after a full inspection there would be no longer heat producing restrictions. The power and fuel economy made a significant improvement.
This will make the Detroit diesel engines popular again
SOMETIMES COMMON SENCE PREVAILS, ANOTHER SUCCESS TICK FOR THE TRUMP ADMINISRATION.
Greenhouse gases and the greenhouse panic no longer exhist. They mystically disappeared after the new Dupont patents were granted some years ago. And now the US also has its paws on Venezuela’s oil it’s all systems go. You gotta love the power of Western energy monopoly.
Hmm…what’s so funny?

It all comes down to energy production of any type & style. An emerging consensus is that Carbon is not, & was NEVER a pollutant, but essential to life. And far too small at just 0.04% to cause significant climate impact, rising & falling with temperature rather than being responsible for it. Was Carbon responsible for a massive melting of an ice age over 7,000 years ago with sea level rising 120 metres, with no evidence of an ‘industrial age’?
Hydrocarbon honeymoon is no surprise: Energy density of gasoline is roughly 12,000 times over lead-acid batteries, & batteries still lag more modern, but often dangerous, equivalents. One litre of petrol equivalent to 100 men working 24 hours non-stop. No wonder men are so addicted to it!
Problem is burning hydrocarbons emit toxic sulphur-nitrous oxides acidifying freshwater lakes and air particulates on a large scale. After more than 120 years, we’re still using the internal combustion engine that used to burn cleaner, when Ford V8 engines were stamped ’30 mpg’ back in the 1930s. The Allan Moffat racing team exploited this ‘lost’ technology to produce super-cars to rival the Peter Brock team. The petrol-head engineer-plumber says Moffat was given a choice: 200, 350, or 500 horsepower workhorse. Naturally, Moffat test-drove the 500, but was shaking when pulling into the pits after just one lap, saying not for me, it’s too powerful!
Evidenced in the two videos of astonishing revelations about the Internal Combustion Engine from the Petrol Head himself, who is also described as the Walking Encyclopedia of Law in Australia!=

• Engines today are far too large.
• More power, & incredible longevity.
• Pre-WWII Ford V8s had a 30mpg badge.
• Vast reduction of pollution.
• Ammonia is one part Nitrogen, 3 parts Hydrogen.
• Hydrocarbons are Renewable, not “fossil” fuel.
• Petrol/Ammonia/Methanol a suggested mix.
• Engine Computers HARDLY improve engines.
• Toyota, Ford, GM, & the rest, Please Take Note.
• Alan Moffat (Bathurst 500) was shaking after One Lap: too powerful.
So, instead of ‘carbon credits’ why not ‘pollution dis-credits’? What a primitive lot we truly are. Current three-dimensional human science is limited by physical & mental only. But Spiritual science, beyond material, is shunned as non-scientific as it goes beyond three dimensions, to provide sustained space and time travel, altering gravity, transmutation of matter, neutralizing atomic waste, and enormous raw energy.
You’re advised to search & watch Dr Steven Greer’s excellent movie on Disclosure titled THE LOST CENTURY (of benevolent galactic species waiting for us to grow up). They say=
“Extraterrestrials have made it very clear that the entry ticket for human civilization
to become interplanetary is first and foremost to be civilized, to live together peacefully,
to renounce weapons of mass destruction, and to go out into space free of weapons systems
with a consciousness of universal peace.” The Disclosure Project, Dr Steven Greer.
For those yearning for zero-point energy=
“The Beings explained that this kind of technology on Earth would lift humanity out of the
industrial age, but was not available to a pre-ascended race – for if this energy was
misdirected it could do immense damage and destroy entire Solar Systems.”
For now, Benevolent beings are deliberately limiting us to two sources of clean, physical energy: Tidal Power, & Geothermal. Definitely NOT Nuclear! Believe it or Not, the World needs to Unite, that’s the enlightened state of ANY human species. Another message=
“As long as you will not get on with each other and federate, there will be
no official contact from the Galactic Federation of Worlds. This, is your
greatest challenge. Until this is done, you will not be considered ready to
join us.”
The mechanism to do this was thoroughly described in Cairns News comments at

The War on Earth is NOT a physical one, but Mind Control. Try opening minds on a mass scale, even Cairns News provides evidence that the vast majority are Brainwashed.
Your’re the sort of rope that can’t be relied upon when doing hard yakka
Does this mean that vehicle owners can dismantle what is under the bonnet and scrap all that EPA crap so they can actually see what their engine looks like , making it easier to work on it ?
“Let’s face it, Harry, the Vette gets ’em wet” – Simon (True Lies).
Good. Aussie farmers should be taxed to death. They should be forced to pay extra for their 4wds. They should be forced to vaccinate their animals. They should be forced to consent to construction of wind farms on their land. They should be banned from cutting down trees without permission from EPA and indigenous bodies. They should be forced to pay expensive emergency service levies. Why? Because they voted for it, and therefore deserve it.
If they don’t like it that should vote with rope. But they won’t, as Aussie farmers are the most spineless goyim in this country. Plus they got disarmed in 3 false flag attacks.
Aussie farmers = lower than cattle.
