Prohibiting Consideration of Greenhouse Gas Emission Costs in Federal Agency Actions

This bill aims to prohibit federal agencies from considering the "social cost of carbon," methane, nitrous oxide, and other greenhouse gases when making any decisions, including rulemaking or cost-benefit analyses. This means that the environmental and societal impact of emissions will not be factored into economic valuations for regulations, potentially affecting future environmental standards and energy costs.
Key points
Federal agencies will be barred from using estimates of damages caused by greenhouse gas emissions (e.g., carbon dioxide, methane) in their analyses and decisions.
This change could impact how agencies assess the environmental and economic effects of new regulations, potentially leading to less stringent emission rules.
The bill requires federal agencies to report on their past use of these cost estimates, aiming to assess the extent of their previous application.
