The U.S. EPA is proposing to repeal GHG tailpipe emission standards, which would would (over 25 yrs):
🫰 Force U.S. households to pay $310B more
📉 Cut the GDP by $710 billion
👷‍♀️ Cut an average of 110,000 jobs/year
🏥 Cause 17,000 pollution-related premature deaths
energyinnovation.org/report/repea...
Repealing Federal Tailpipe Emissions Standards Would Raise Household Costs, Harm Public Health, And Damage The Economy • Energy Innovation
If the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) eliminates its tailpipe emissions rules as part of repealing the Endangerment Finding, it would cause massive sticker shock-- Americans would be forced to pay $310 billion more, largely due to higher gasoline prices.

@energyinnovation.org modeled the impacts of the federal gov's attempts to repeal tailpipe emissions standards & the results are devastating for the economy, communities and the air we breathe.

The impact:
- 17K pollution-related premature deaths
- Americans pay $310B more
- 110k jobs annually
Graphic with image of a semi truck with black blowing black exhaust out of two tailpipes on a freeway of other cars and traffic. Below is the title text: “Repealing Tailpipe Standards Would Cost Americans Billion.” Subheading: “If the EPA repeals the Endangerment Finding, Americans could face $310B in higher costs, mostly from gasoline prices.” Bullet points below with summary information: Americans would pay $310B more by 2050, $710B lost from the U.S. GDP and 110K jobs lost annually, 17K premature deaths from increased pollution, EV adoption drops, cutting pollution saves money, jobs and lives. ‘Energy Innovation’ logo in bottom left corner, Clean & Prosperous Washington logo in bottom right corner.

EPA's latest repeal will force Americans to pay another $310 billion, this time in higher fuel costs.

That's *on top* of about $820 billion in extra fuel costs Congress piled onto household budgets from the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"

This administration keeps forcing Americans to pay more.
