The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will seek to undo more than 30 regulations, including some aimed at lowering carbon emissions and curbing pollution, as well as redefining what waters and wetlands the federal government can regulate, Administrator Lee Zeldin said Wednesday.
The agency will take 31 actions covering a host of issues that amounted to “the largest deregulatory announcement in U.S. history,” Zeldin said in a brief video posted to the EPA website Wednesday afternoon.
Zeldin framed the moves as part of President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to encourage energy production and cut regulations focused on slowing climate change.
“Today, the green new scam ends as the EPA does its part to usher in the golden age of American success,” Zeldin said.
