Heartache: EPA To End Rule Requiring Companies To Report Their CO2 Emissions

Good. It’s a waste of time and money. The EPA should pass a rule requiring all elected Warmists to report their own CO2 output
EPA to scrap greenhouse gas reporting for companies, including many in San Diego region
The federal Environmental Protection Agency has proposed ending a rule that requires businesses to report greenhouse gas emissions.
Thousands of oil refineries, coal and natural gas burning power plants, landfills and other facilities would no longer have to report how much they pollute if the agency moves forward with the change. In San Diego and Imperial counties, more than two dozen companies would no longer be subject to the reporting requirement.
“The (program) is nothing more than bureaucratic red tape that does nothing to improve air quality,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in a press release. (snip)
The agency said the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, which has been active since 2010, has been “burdensome” to businesses. The program requires large emission sources, those that produce over 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year, to report their emissions yearly. The database accounts for 50% of emissions in the U.S. according to the EPA website.
Zeldin said ending the rule would save businesses $2.4 billion dollars in regulatory costs.
The agency also said it would postpone data collection for petroleum and natural gas production until 2034, pushing back a requirement under President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.
This is a good idea. The EPA should, instead, spend time on actual air pollutants like the Environmental Protection Act says, not the mythical carbon pollution. Hassle companies that actually pollute the air.
