Climate Nightmare Before Christmas – with Apologies to Clement C. Moore
Summary
The Clean Air Task Force criticizes the EPA under Andrew Wheeler for rushing through rules that support "uncontrolled generation" and disregard climate science and public health. The author argues that the EPA is ignoring statutory protections and legal requirements, such as the APA and CRA, to implement rollbacks on methane, ozone, coal ash, and carbon rules before the administration's tenure ends, vowing that these actions will be challenged in court.
