Transparency and Honesty in Energy Regulations Act of 2024

This bill prohibits federal agencies from using the social cost of carbon, methane, nitrous oxide, or greenhouse gases in regulatory decisions. It bans these climate impact estimates from cost-benefit analyses, rulemaking, and agency guidance documents. Agencies must report past use of these metrics since 2009 to Congress. The law removes specific climate cost calculations from energy regulations.
