!
j... we pined for Congress, reporting that a conservative group that supports
!
addressing climate change warns that the Obama administration's climate legacy may :
e "unremitting" despite the Trump administration's efforts, and that only Congress!
could offer "durable" climate deregulation as part of a "compromise" bill to curb
:
emissions through a carbon tax.
!
Speaking of climate rules, our daily news roundup noted that Detroit's "Big Three" !
jauto companies could be the biggest winners if the Trump administration softens
!
vehicle greenhouse gas standards in model year 2021, given that those companies sell:
|a large percentage of light trucks.
!
|ln infrastructure news, a new executive order from President Donald Trump seeks to !
limit National Environmental Policy Act reviews to two years, while also creating
!
"accountability" for federal agencies involved in the permitting process.
!
jln the courts, a split panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit rejected !
EPA's denial of a pair of requests from a small refiner in Wyoming for the agency to !
waive its renewable fuel blending requirements under the renewable fuel standard !
|(RFS), potentially bolstering other pending challenges to EPA denials of RFS waiver !
requests.
:
And regarding climate science , one prominent scientist is offering the latest criticism !
of EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt's plan to conduct a "red-team, blue-team" review of :
climate science, saying the goal of such an approach is to disrupt climate policy rather
than test scientific hypotheses.
