Governor Burgum Criticizes Reversal of Obama Climate Rules for Increasing Consumer Costs

Doug Burgum Criticizes Reversal of Obama-Era Climate Policies, Citing Rising Costs In a recent statement, Governor Doug Burgum expressed strong opposition to the rollback of climate regulations established during the Obama administration. He emphasized that these changes have led to increased prices for consumers across the nation. Burgum praised policymakers like Congressman Lee Zeldin and Secretary Chris Wright for their stance on maintaining affordable and reliable energy. He argued that correctly implemented energy policies promote economic prosperity and help curb inflation. Burgum highlighted that the recent repeal of the endangerment finding enables unelected bureaucrats to impose regulations disguised as law, which, according to him, restrict consumer choices and elevate costs. He pointed out that Congress retains the authority to regulate carbon dioxide directly through legislation, but should not rely on broad legal interpretations that lead to unnecessary restrictions and higher prices.
