Biden's Latest Climate Rules Crack Down on Manufacturing, Ignoring Industry Warnings of Economic Devastation
The Biden administration has finalized regulations that tighten restrictions on fine particulate matter emissions from the manufacturing and energy sectors, despite concerns from industry about the economic consequences. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled the regulations, which lower the annual PM2.5 standard from 12 to 9 micrograms per cubic meter, citing health benefits for Americans nationwide. However, industry associations, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Manufacturers, and American Petroleum Institute, warn that the regulations could lead to onerous permitting requirements that would impact economic growth and job security. The regulations will make the U.S. PM2.5 standards among the strictest in the world.
