The EPA has announced a sweeping plan to repeal or weaken over two dozen regulations, undermining California's stringent environmental policies on air and water quality, electric vehicles, and greenhouse gas emissions. New EPA administrator Lee Zeldin heralded this move as the 'largest deregulatory announcement in U.S. history' aimed at reducing costs for families. Environmental advocates criticized the changes as a severe threat to decades of progress, particularly in California, highlighting that they could reverse vital climate initiatives and jeopardize public health standards established under previous administrations.
The changes announced this week are geared toward rolling back trillions of dollars in regulatory costs and hidden taxes on U.S. families, according to President Trump's new EPA administrator Lee Zeldin.
This isn't just a step backward - it's a wrecking ball aimed at decades of progress,
California has been aggressive in its efforts to curb CO2, including a state law that requires a 40% emissions reduction by 2030 and an 85% reduction by 2045.
Zeldin referred to the endangerment finding as 'the holy grail of the climate change religion.'
