Lee Zeldin: The Great American Comeback

Lee Zeldin: "Today, I am pleased to make the largest deregulation announcement in U.S. history. The Environmental Protection Agency is initiating 31 historic actions to fulfill President Trump's promise to unleash American energy, revitalize our auto industry, restore the rule of law, and return power to the states.

The EPA will reconsider many suffocating regulations that restrict nearly every sector of our economy and cost Americans trillions of dollars. Our actions include the Biden administration’s flawed Clean Power Plan 2.0, the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, the regulations on Particulate Matter 2.5, the light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicle rules, and NESHAPS. Also, the so-called "social cost of carbon."

To advance cooperative federalism, the EPA will partner with states that were universally rejected by the last administration’s Good Neighbor Rule. Among many other actions, this historic day also includes the 2009 endangerment finding, along with all actions that rely on it. I have been told that this finding is considered the "Holy Grail" of the climate change religion.

For me, the U.S. Constitution and the laws of this nation will be strictly interpreted and followed. No exceptions. Today, the Green News scam ends as the EPA does its part to usher in a new era of American success.

Our actions will lower the cost of living, making it more affordable to buy a car, heat your home, and operate a business. Jobs will be created, especially in the U.S. auto industry, and our nation will grow stronger.

From the campaign trail to day one and beyond, President Trump has delivered on his promise to unleash energy dominance and reduce the cost of living. We at the EPA will do our part to power the Great American Comeback."

President Trump's economic policies will have even greater reach and strength by eliminating these regulations, which, as Lee Zeldin rightly states, only increase the cost of living for American citizens. This announcement, representing the largest deregulation in U.S. history, is another step toward Making America Great Again.
