EPA Chief Zeldin Revoke Obama-Era ‘Trillion Dollar Scam’
A “trillion-dollar” scam that was executed during the Obama administration has been revealed by the Trump administration.
The primary principle of the Democrats’ climate deception economy is being dismantled by the Trump administration, along with the trillion-dollar regulatory framework that has hindered the American auto industry and forced working Americans into undesirable and unaffordable electric vehicles.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the agency’s intention to revoke the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which provided the legal foundation for a significant increase in greenhouse gas limits on automobiles, trucks, and engines, at a car dealership in Indiana.
Fox Business host Cheryl Casone inquired, “I would like to hear your perspective on another matter. There are emerging questions for former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg after it was reported that he disregarded safety protocols by constructing windmills near critical infrastructure. This ties into the EPA, so please bear with me. ‘The New York Post’ reported that, ‘At least 33 safety recommendations to position wind turbines well away from critical infrastructure were overruled in 2023 and 2024 according to a current department official, allowing the projects to be situated close enough to potentially disrupt essential radio communications.’ This issue is not solely about — I mean, the windmill situation is one aspect, you have obviously dealt with this in New York State and the Northeast in general, but it’s the reality that they were neglecting safety and possibly regulatory guidelines under the previous EPA, under President Biden, to facilitate the construction of these windmills. What is your response to that?”
“I have observed numerous instances where in this windmill discussion, the left has not been truthful in addressing the safety issues, the environmental consequences, and the economic implications. President Trump has been very clear and consistent in his stance on all of this. What we are learning about the events that transpired during the Biden Administration clearly would not have occurred under a President Trump.”
“The recent stories emerging have raised concerns voiced by Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy. Doug Burgum is effectively leading the Department of Interior. Numerous agencies are actively engaging in discussions about the economic and environmental impacts. We aim to address safety issues transparently, rather than avoiding them due to apprehensions about confronting climate advocates who advocate for increased reliance on wind energy, which is not a viable replacement for base load power,” Zeldin remarked.
“President Trump recently visited Scotland and described windmills as unattractive, but the implications extend far beyond aesthetics, as we have previously discussed. They can indeed be environmentally harmful, despite being marketed as clean energy. There are numerous questions to consider, and we will need to observe how this situation unfolds,” Casone noted.
This measure revokes the most rigorous components of Obama’s climate initiative, abolishes the controversial stop-start engine regulation, and dismantles the Biden administration’s electric vehicle mandate. It sends a powerful message: the era of climate extremism has concluded.
By eliminating regulations that have driven up vehicle costs, disrupted supply chains, and encumbered manufacturers with excessive bureaucracy, Zeldin asserts that this repeal could result in savings of over $54 billion annually for Americans.
This action by the EPA aligns with a larger, unified resistance against Green New Deal-like initiatives. “A significant advancement towards reinstating sensible policies that enhance access to affordable, dependable, and secure energy while improving the quality of life for all Americans,” stated Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, in reference to the repeal.
