A coalition of 13 Republicans on the Senate Commerce Committee blasted NASA over a recent climate-related regulation they said would increase costs by $4 billion.
In the letter, Cruz —of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee — and all other committee Republicans demanded that NASA Administrator Bill Nelson abandon the rule which was proposed in November and requires federal contractors to disclose greenhouse gas emissions data. The 13 GOP lawmakers said the regulation was not based in science and would lead to political favoritism.
On Nov. 14, NASA issued the proposed rule alongside the Department of Defense and General Services Administration . In addition to the GHG disclosure requirement, federal contractors would be required to discloseThe rule came days after President Biden announced it during the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Egypt.
The lawmakers also expressed concern that the rule defers judgment on standards to the Science-Based Targets Initiative, an international climate-focused organization. They said the group has yet to publish new GHG emission guidance for the fossil fuel and mining industries,"making it impossible to be in compliance.
