YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Trump administration is rolling back Biden-era rules that required grocery stores and air conditioning companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their refrigerating equipment.
During an Oval Office event Thursday, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the move is meant to help lower food prices.
Under the new rules, companies will no longer be required to update their equipment to reduce hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs. Those are considered super pollutants and are a major driver of global warming.
It's unclear how much of the projected savings the companies would pass on to consumers, if any.
