PSR is suing Trump's EPA for its illegal and reckless repeal of the Endangerment Finding for greenhouse gases.

This week the EPA announced its decision to neglect the health and safety of the American people through their rollback of the Endangerment Finding. Carbon emissions and climate change lead to excess illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths — all of which could be avoided through proper regulation of fossil fuels.
