EPA Chief Announces Biggest Regulation Wipeout in US History ​

The winning continues apace: On Wednesday, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the EPA will be undertaking what is liable to be the largest deregulation effort in American history - for now. Watch:

​

There is a list of proposed actions at the link, but let's just look at a few:

• Reconsideration of regulations on power plants (Clean Power Plan 2.0)
• Reconsideration of regulations throttling the oil and gas industry (OOOO b/c)
• Reconsideration of Mercury and Air Toxics Standards that improperly targeted coal-fired power plants (MATS)

Now, here's a great one for "termination."
Terminating Biden’s Environmental Justice and DEI arms of the agency (EJ/DEI)
Once again, the left sticks the word "justice" on the end of a random word, and suddenly, it's a social issue requiring immediate, frantic action, but the Trump administration and Administrator Zeldin aren't having any of it. These departments were not only irrelevant to the EPA's core function, but they were and are the stuff you'd find behind the south end of a northbound bull, and deserve to be treated the same way - scooped up and tossed out as fertilizer.
~Snip~
It's a new day at the EPA. It's a new day all over the United States, and in a year, the amount of wasteful spending and onerous regulation will be greatly reduced - maybe even to livable levels. But Congress is going to have to act to make a lot of this permanent, so let's not get too happy just yet; we have a couple more election cycles ahead that will be key to sustaining this momentum.


Commentary:
Hmmm....., "Environmental Justice and DEI arms of the agency"
Sounds like something from Stalin's 1950s USSR. or a Moa Zedong program...
Smaller government, less regulation, more freedom...Lee Zeldin would have been a great governor for New York. Glad he’s in the Trump administration.

Here in Pa. the DEP, same as Federal EPA, are in business to take money from polluters. You wanna destroy the environment, all you gotta do is pay the crooked regulators. Disbanding the EPA would only help Pa.

“Today is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen. We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the ENVIRONMENT to drive down costs” said EPA Administrator Zeldin.

Lee Zeldin, the E.P.A. administrator, said the agency's mission was to make it cheaper to buy cars, heat homes and run businesses. No it’s not.

These historic actions will roll back trillions in regulatory costs on Corporations. It will be more affordable to make a car, provide customers with heat and operate a business. It will be more affordable FOR COMPANIES to manufacture.

Today, EPA Administrator Zeldin announced the following actions:

• Deregulate power plants
• Deregulate the oil and gas industry
• Deregulate Mercury and Air Toxics that targeted coal power plants
• Deregulate Greenhouse Gas emissions
• Deregulate the Steam Electric Power Generating Industry to ensure low-cost electricity while NOT protecting water resources
• Deregulate wastewater regulations for coal power plants
• Deregulate America’s oil and natural gas refineries and chemical facilities

Reduce regulations, not de-regulate.

So you are saying there will be ZERO regulations for those issues?

Thank the Lord Hochul and the Progressive cheated him out of the Governorship in NY!

Zero. The regulations that prevent oil spills, removed. And the penalty that will come when the do spill oil, will be a slap on the wrist.

The good news about all this is you will live 2.5 years less than you would if Kamala won. Got to look on the bright side of it.

Trust me, there are still plenty of regulations to cover that, both at the federal and State levels.

You are talking to someone with a Masters in Chemical Engineering, that has 25 years in the water/wastewater treatment industry.

What you are posting is alarmist propaganda.

Nonsense. Man Made Climate Change is a mess even with these regulations in place. We need to do MORE not less?

Dummy.

I guess you don't really like clean air and water.

Climate change is a boogeyman.

And there are still hundreds of regulations covering clean air and water.

What needs to be removed are regulations that are nothing more than shadow bans, either via overly excessive rulemaking, or setting impossible standards to meet.

I got the background and current experience to discuss this, what's your degree in?

Awesome. Everyone getting cancer as Medicare/Medicaid end and doctors are replaced with AI.

Trump has woke the dummies in America. Losers. Deplorables. They believe trump is crashing the market for them. And sending illegals packing, for them. So of course you swallow unscientific bs. The epa has been taken over by the global polluters. And that’s going to lower your energy costs. You believe this is all for you

 

[initforme]

Why reduce clean air standards? Makes zero sense. I guess the almighty dollar will always win. It will.be up to citizen groups to monitor big industry and bring it to the publics attention without any repercussion.

Just like every other industry. Life is unfair. Expect to make sacrifices.

You’re an idiot. He’ll be allowed to fuck up the environment now and still change you more. So dumb. True realist.

Reminds me of Republican insurance. Give $100 break but offer less, then raise prices and still offer less. Brilliant

Don’t be an idiot. You live in a logical universe where every effect has a cause. The events which are occurring will have logical consequences. These things will occur despite your drama queen over sensationalism ideology. It’s all by design to distract you from doing the things you should be doing. It’s people like you - on both sides of the isle - that are the problem.
