AHRI Calls on White House to Reject Social Cost of Carbon
This analysis was created under the Obama administration
ARLINGTON, Va. — The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) recently called on President Donald Trump to withdraw the Technical Update of the Social Cost of Carbon for Regulatory Impact Analysis. 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 Obama 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 Stephen Yurek, president and CEO, AHRI.
