EPA<\/em>, ruled that EPA had the authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.&nbsp; Seeing an opening to extend the agency\u2019s writ into nearly every nook and cranny in the nation\u2019s economy, Obama officials at EPA issued the Endangerment Finding two years later.&nbsp; It declared six greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, as hazardous to public health, unleashing an onslaught of regulations targeting the energy, transportation, construction, and other sectors.&nbsp; By overhauling the Endangerment Finding, Zeldin is striking against what he called \u201cthe holy grail of climate change religion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overturning the climate policies made possible by the Endangerment Finding will not occur overnight.&nbsp; It will require an arduous administrative process that will take up much of Trump\u2019s remaining time in office.&nbsp; Environmental groups, recognizing the threat Zeldin\u2019s move poses to their agenda of ridding the world of fossil fuels, will sue the agency and can count on the support of a slew of blue-state attorneys general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the legal landscape for challenging Zeldin may not be as hospitable as it once was.&nbsp; Two recent Supreme Court decisions,&nbsp;<em>West Virginia v. EPA<\/em>&nbsp;(2022) and&nbsp;<em>Roper Bright Enterprises v.<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Raimondo<\/em>&nbsp;(2024), have sharply curtailed federal agencies\u2019 power to issue regulations without specific congressional authorization.&nbsp; In its&nbsp;<em>West Virginia<\/em>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/21pdf\/20-1530_n758.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decision<\/a>, the high court ruled that EPA lacked the authority to enact the Obama-era Clean Power Plan, which sought to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from existing coal-fired power plants.&nbsp; The similarity between that ruling and Zeldin\u2019s initiatives does not bode well for green plaintiffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, lawsuits opposing Zeldin\u2019s revoking of the Endangerment Finding run the risk of the issue landing at the Supreme Court, which could reverse its 2007 ruling in&nbsp;<em>Massachusetts v.<\/em>&nbsp;<em>EPA<\/em>, citing a lack of congressional authority to regulate CO2 and other greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zeldin\u2019s actions are not taking place in a vacuum.&nbsp; Not only has Trump withdrawn the U.S. from the December 2015 Paris Climate Agreement and blocked American officials from participating in U.N.-sponsored climate panels, but once-green elements in the private sector are turning over a new leaf.&nbsp; Once at the forefront of the green energy transition, oil giant BP told investors in early March that its \u201coptimism for a fast transition was misplaced\u201d and that the company would be shifting billions of dollars in investments from green energy to fossil fuels,\u201d the&nbsp;<em>Washington Post<\/em>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2025\/03\/10\/energy-transition-trump-climate-ceraweek\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confronted by soaring demand for reliable electricity to power AI in data centers, Silicon Valley and New York investment firms have second thoughts about parting with fossil fuels.&nbsp; BlackRock\u2019s Larry Fink, until recently an ardent proponent of renewable energy, is singing a different tune.&nbsp; \u201cWe have to think about power and energy in a pragmatic way,\u201d he recently told a high-powered energy meeting in Houston, the&nbsp;<em>Post<\/em>&nbsp;reported.&nbsp; \u201cLet\u2019s pause for a second.&nbsp; First, gas will play a major role in the U.S. for tens of years.&nbsp; Maybe 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vaunted green transition runs headlong into a rapidly changing business, legal, and political climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This article originally appeared at&nbsp;<a
