"Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse stated that Zeldin had executed the fossil fuel industry's agenda, while Rep. Rosa DeLauro described the proposal as a climate change denier's manifesto."
Lee Zeldin, the EPA administrator, intends to cut the agency's budget by $300 million and eliminate the Office of Research and Development. He argues that these changes will lead to a more efficient EPA. Zeldin has initiated nearly 70 actions to reverse environmental protections, claiming that Americans support these cuts. Critics, including Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, accuse him of advancing the fossil fuel industry's agenda and promoting climate change denial. Zeldin maintains that public feedback is positive regarding the agency's reduced capabilities.
