🎶 "I said money, money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
That don't mean a thing
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything..."🎵From pro-climate Republican to ‘one of the #Trump disruptors’
#EPA Administrator #LeeZeldin's attacks on his agency's spending and regulations have made him a rising star in the Trump Cabinet, but left some former colleagues mystified.
By Hannah Northey, Emily Ngo, Josh Siegel and Miranda Willson
04/06/2025Excerpt: "Others who have known Zeldin wonder what happened to the middle-of-the-road lawmaker they once knew, who acknowledged that humans were warming the Earth and bucked Trump’s first administration on offshore oil drilling."

The order late Tues by Judge #Chutkan “gives us a chance to breathe after the EPA unlawfully — & w/o #DueProcess — terminated our awards & blocked access to funds that were appropriated by #Congress & legally obligated,” said #ClimateUnited CEO Beth Bafford.
The lawsuit by Climate United Fund & other groups contends that the #EPA, Admin #LeeZeldin & #Citibank, which held the money, illegally blocked the funds awarded last year & had jeopardized the organizations’ operations.

The order by US Dist Judge #Chutkan prevents—for now—the #EPA from ending the $20B #grant program.
Chutkan's order also blocks #Citibank, which holds the money on behalf of the EPA, from transferring the money back to the govt or anyone.
#ClimateUnitedFund & other groups sued #Trump’s EPA, its admin #LeeZeldin & Citibank, saying they had illegally denied the groups access to $14B awarded last year through the #GreenhouseGas Reduction Fund, commonly referred to as a “green bank."

#EPA's #Zeldin starts efforts to poison you, raise fuel costs and harm #US industry
#LeeZeldin called his actions, mostly press releases, declaring rollbacks of money-saving and pollution reducing measures, “the greatest day of #deregulation in US history.”
Biden-Harris administration’s policy improvements would save over $250B/yr and 200k lives, all while making US industry more prepared for the global green transition that is happening now whether you like it or not.

Trump’s #EPA clearly shows it doesn’t understand the assignment
31 separate actions roll back restrictions on #air and #water #pollution.
#LeeZeldin exulted over the plan to rescind EPA’s 16yo determination #greenhousegas is a danger to #publichealth and welfare, known as #endangermentfinding
Zeldin announced EPA would revise a key definition that guides environmental protection under #CleanWaterAct, a change advocates say would threaten water supplies for millions in #US

Trump's choice for the new head of the #EPA confirms a deregulatory shift at the federal level.
“Zeldin has very little environmental experience, but that also seems to be the reason he was chosen," Baykeeper executive director Sejal Choksi-Chugh told KQED. "It looks like he’s going to be very pro-fossil fuels, pro-pollution and just trying to get rid of the regulations that protect human health across the country."

#Trump nimitti ympäristönsuojeluviraston johtoon republikaanien entisen edustajainhuoneen jäsenen Lee Zeldinin.
#Zeldin kertoo tavoitteenaan olevan "palauttaa Yhdysvaltain valta-asema energiamarkkinoilla, elvyttää autoteollisuutta ja tehdä maasta globaali johtaja tekoälyn saralla."
Todella ympäristöä suojelevaa - öljyä, bensalekkereitä ja tuhottomasti energiaa kuluttavaa tekoälyä.
