By repealing it, the EPA has revoked its own regulatory authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside its repeal, the Trump administration canceled federal emission limits for motor vehicles, which are among the nation\u2019s largest sources of climate pollution. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The administration is also preparing to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/stationary-sources-air-pollution\/greenhouse-gas-standards-and-guidelines-fossil-fuel-fired-power\">rescind<\/a> limits on fossil fuel power plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bridgemi.com\/michigan-environment-watch\/what-trumps-pledge-repeal-ev-climate-regulations-means-michigan\/\"><strong>What Trump&#8217;s pledge to repeal EV, climate regulations means for Michigan<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bridgemi.com\/michigan-environment-watch\/michigan-lost-billions-in-climate-related-investments-in-trumps-first-year\/\"><strong>Michigan lost billions in climate-related investments in Trump\u2019s first year<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bridgemi.com\/michigan-government\/trump-admin-cancels-156m-michigan-solar-program-as-coal-plant-decision-looms\/\"><strong>Trump admin cancels $156M Michigan solar program as coal plant decision looms<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bridgemi.com\/michigan-environment-watch\/trump-admin-extends-order-to-keep-michigan-coal-plant-open\/\"><strong>Trump administration extends order to keep Michigan coal plant open<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Zeldin hailed Thursday\u2019s announcement as \u201cthe single largest deregulatory act in the history of the USA,\u201d saying eliminating climate regulations would cut energy costs and reduce automobile costs by $2,400 apiece.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Trump EPA is strictly following the letter of the law, returning commonsense to policy, delivering consumer choice to Americans and advancing the American Dream,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t immediately clear how the administration arrived at its cost-saving estimates. An analysis by Consumer Reports found that fuel efficiency standards <a href=\"https:\/\/advocacy.consumerreports.org\/research\/blog-strong-efficiency-and-emissions-standards-deliver-thousands-in-fuel-savings-for-consumers\/\">have saved drivers<\/a> thousands of dollars on gas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/cars\/buying-a-car\/car-safety-fuel-efficiency-impact-on-car-prices-a5238334931\/\">without raising the sticker price<\/a> of vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts have also estimated the long-term cost of climate inaction is higher than any short-term savings associated with boosting fossil fuel use. The global toll of extreme weather events alone is expected to reach into the trillions by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-023-41888-1\"> midcentury<\/a>, while air pollution from automobiles and power plants kills <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atsjournals.org\/doi\/full\/10.1513\/AnnalsATS.202107-860OC\">hundreds of Michiganders<\/a> each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Democrats and environmental groups condemned the rollback, saying the EPA has abandoned its mission to protect the public from pollution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The repeal \u201cgives polluters a free pass to dump more smog and soot into the air \u2014 fueling asthma attacks, heart disease and hospital visits, especially for children and seniors,\u201d said Bentley Johnson, federal government affairs director for the Michigan League of Conservation Voters. He said it will \u201cresult in dirtier air, poorer health and strain on Michiganders&#8217; pocketbooks.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still unclear is whether the change will stand. Critics have promised lawsuits and legal analysts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/02\/10\/climate\/epa-endangerment-supreme-court.html\">expect the dispute to reach<\/a> the US Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact on automakers, utilities <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The vehicle emissions standards were a frequent campaign-trail target for Trump, who has long denied the reality of climate change and referred to efforts to rein in fossil fuels or promote renewable energy as \u201cthe green new scam.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michigan has none of its own regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles or power plants. That means the federal repeal \u201csignificantly affects our ability to address greenhouse gas emissions,\u201d said Dale George, spokesperson for the state Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Impacts to Michigan\u2019s automobile industry and electrical sector may be mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automakers have already scaled back their efforts to transition to EVs in response to reduced federal support and shifting market demand. Cumulative investments in electric vehicle and battery projects in the state <a href=\"https:\/\/bridgemi.com\/michigan-environment-watch\/michigan-lost-billions-in-climate-related-investments-in-trumps-first-year\/\">seesawed<\/a> from billions a year during the Biden administration to $3 billion worth of disinvestment last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is \u201cno question\u201d looser emissions standards take pressure off automakers, regulatory whiplash is not helpful to the industry, said Glenn Stevens, executive director of statewide industry advocacy group MichAuto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automakers need long lead times to make business decisions that often require years of product development and retooling assembly lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou do that with the most amount of certainty you can,\u201d Stevens said. \u201c&#8230;What happens when the administration changes again?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stevens predicted US automakers\u2019 transition to EVs would continue, albeit at a slower pace, as they look to compete in overseas markets where EVs are gaining share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe rest of the world is adopting them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Bozzella, president and CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, an industry group that includes Michigan\u2019s Big Three, criticized former President Joe Biden for raising emissions standards to \u201cunachievable\u201d levels, but offered neither praise nor criticism of Trump\u2019s decision to completely do away with standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe auto industry in America remains focused on preserving vehicle choice for consumers, keeping the industry competitive, and staying on a long-term path of emissions reductions and cleaner vehicles,\u201d Bozzella said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Trump administration also aims to stop regulating greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, Michigan\u2019s electric utilities are bound to a 2023 state law that requires them to achieve 100% clean energy by 2040.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In statements to Bridge Michigan, spokespeople for Consumers Energy and DTE Energy said the utilities will comply with that law. They did not address questions about whether looser federal standards could have any near-term impact on power plant emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saying DTE is focused on delivering \u201csafe, reliable and affordable energy,\u201d DTE spokesperson Amanda Passage said the utility \u201cwill continue to follow state and federal energy laws in a way that ensures we deliver on this commitment to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not yet clear how the Trump administration\u2019s broader efforts to bolster fossil fuels and stymie renewable energy could impact Michigan\u2019s climate plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The administration has ordered Consumers Energy to keep operating the Cambell coal plant in West Olive for months beyond its planned closure date in May, repeatedly issuing three-month extensions. Consumers had planned the closure to save money by switching to cheaper natural gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur long-term plan remains the same, to decommission the plant,\u201d Wheeler said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DTE\u2019s Passage also said the company remains committed to its plan to close the Monroe coal-fired power plant in 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump has long downplayed the threat of climate change, even while humanity\u2019s continued burning of fossil fuels inflicts damage ranging from rising seas and extreme weather to megafires and dying coral reefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to rolling back regulations, his administration has redirected federal spending to deprioritize green energy and EVs while boosting spending on fossil fuels. That includes rescinding federal tax incentives for EV buyers and canceling Biden-era conservation initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>EDITOR&#8217;S NOTE: This story was updated 8:40 a.m. Feb. 16, 2026 to reflect the correct spelling of John Bozzella&#8217;s name.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite scientific consensus on the harms posed by climate change, the administration no longer views greenhouse gases as harmful to public health.
