AHRI calls on White House to reject Social Cost of Carbon
The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) called on President Trump to withdraw the Technical Update of the Social Cost of Carbon for Regulatory Impact Analysis. According to AHRI, this analysis, commonly referred to as the Social Cost of Carbon, was reached through a closed-door, non-transparent process by an exclusive interagency working group created under the previous administration.
"By using the SCC as a basis for cost-benefit analyses to validate unreasonable efficiency regulations — without stakeholder input on the estimates — we believe the previous administration violated its responsibility under the Administrative Procedures Act," stated AHRI President and CEO Stephen Yurek.
