The EPA will revisit an emissions rule that determines carbon dioxide endangers public health

The EPA has announced it is revisiting a rule that could change how emissions are regulated on cars, trucks, and even tractors.

Administrator Lee Zeldin announced plans to scrap the Endangerment Finding, which is an Obama-era rule that found carbon dioxide was a danger to public health. Its reach was not just on vehicles but also on power plants.

The proposal must now go through public comment and will likely face several legal challenges. Emissions devices on farm equipment have long been a thorn in the side of farmers, saying it limits their right to repair.
