Bill > HR1292

This bill, known as the Energy Production Freedom Act, proposes to amend the Clean Air Act, a foundational law for controlling air pollution in the United States. Specifically, it aims to exclude certain gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride, from the definition of "air pollutant" under the Act. These gases are commonly referred to as greenhouse gases, which are understood to contribute to climate change and global warming. Furthermore, the bill explicitly states that the Clean Air Act should not be interpreted as allowing or mandating the regulation of climate change or global warming.
