Summary
An unidentified speaker announced the immediate repeal of an "endangerment finding" and termination of additional "green emission standards" affecting vehicle models and engines from 2012–2027, claiming it will save "American consumers trillions of dollars" and cut average new vehicle costs by about $3,000; the transcript gives no implementing authority or supporting evidence.
An unidentified speaker announced the immediate repeal of what they called a "ridiculous endangerment finding" and the termination of additional "green emission standards" imposed on vehicle models and engines covering 2012 through 2027, saying the moves will reduce costs for consumers.
The speaker opened by asserting that "in 4 years under the Biden administration, the price of a new and used car rose more than 22%," and called recent emissions policy a "green new scam" that "did not achieve any meaningful impact on the environment, but... making the car worse." The speaker then said, "That is why effective immediately, we are repealing the ridiculous endangerment finding and terminating all additional green emission standards imposed unnecessarily on vehicle models and engines between 2012 and 2027 and beyond." The statement did not identify which agency or official would carry out the repeal or termination.
The speaker also claimed the action "will save American consumers trillions of dollars and will lower the average cost of a new vehicle by close to $3,000." The transcript contains no analysis, source citation, or method for those cost estimates; the claim appears as an assertion in the remarks.
The announcement, as presented in the transcript, does not include supporting documentation, a legislative vote, or a named implementing authority. The documents and agencies responsible for emissions and endangerment findings are not specified in the remarks, and no timetable or procedural steps were recorded in the text provided.
Because the transcript does not identify an implementing authority or provide evidence for the asserted savings, the announced changes should be treated as an unverified policy declaration in this record. The transcript offers the speaker's claims and proposed regulatory changes but does not show formal rulemaking, statutory repeal, agency orders, or votes that would be required for binding regulatory change.
