This program is nothing more than costly bureaucratic red tape that burdens American businesses without delivering tangible environmental benefits. The $2.4 billion in regulatory savings will allow companies to redirect resources toward actual environmental improvements rather than paperwork compliance. Eliminating this unnecessary reporting requirement unleashes American energy dominance while still meeting all Clean Air Act obligations.
Ending this 15-year program blinds Americans to critical pollution data and violates congressional requirements to collect emissions information. Without public accountability through transparent reporting, companies lose incentives to reduce emissions, and communities cannot track local air quality threats. This cynical move keeps polluters' climate damage secret from the public, who depend on this data for sound policy decisions.
