New public comments 📨 🏛️ We and 10 organizations responded to a recent EPA proposal to repeal emissions standards for the power sector. EPA doesn't account for #climate damages, which contradicts the best available science and economics. We argue they need to. policyintegrity.org/projects/upd...

New issue brief 🚗 EPA is expected to scrap a 15-year-old finding that emissions from vehicles contribute to climate change and harm public heath and welfare. Policy Integrity authors show that EPA's expected proposal is contradicted by clear and vast evidence. policyintegrity.org/publications...

New issue brief 🚗 EPA is expected to rescind greenhouse gas standards for vehicles. But the agency's reassessment of these standards is inconsistent with the text, history, and regulatory practice of the Clean Air Act. Read more: policyintegrity.org/publications...

Opinion: NYU School of Law's Dena Adler and Jason Schwartz write that the EPA is trying to minimize the importance of how power plants' greenhouse gas emissions are reported.

When the Interior Department leases offshore lands for oil and gas drilling, the law requires it to consider the “economic, social, and environmental values” of offshore resources. Our new report examines how its methods for doing this have changed over time. policyintegrity.org/publications...

I wrote about the legal argument Trump’s EPA is making to repeal GHG standards for power plants, how it fits into his longer term strategy to undermine the Clean Air Act, and how things could play out once it hits the courts. heatmap.news/climate/trum...

Our analysis is citied here showing how U.S. power plants—despite EPA's claims—are "a huge contributor to global carbon emissions."

EPA just proposed repeals of two major regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions and toxic air pollution from power plants. Our statement here ⬇️ policyintegrity.org/files/media/...

The Trump Administration is breaking from longstanding and legally-mandated practice by issuing proposed rules with little or no information. Our issue brief explains why these barebones proposals cannot withstand legal scrutiny. policyintegrity.org/publications...

A new piece in @theguardian.com highlights our work exposing the flaws in EPA's reported plan to end GHG limits for power plants. As we show, emissions from the U.S. power sector are clearly significant, contrary to the administration's claims. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

EPA wants to end GHG emission limits on coal and gas power plants, arguing that U.S. power sector emissions are not a “significant contribution” to dangerous pollution. As we explain in a pair of issue briefs, this reasoning misunderstands the law, EPA's own practice, and basic reality. ⬇️

Our amicus brief played an important role in the recent litigation over President Trump's tariffs. The government and the judges engaged with our brief during the case, and the final opinion ended up using our formulation of the major questions doctrine. policyintegrity.org/projects/upd...
