Court rules against Trump #EPA’s freeze of $20B in ‘#greenbank’ funds
A federal #appealscourt finds the EPA acted improperly in terminating grants to boost #cleanenergy projects. The Trump administration may appeal to the Supreme Court.
The divided ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is a victory for the nonprofit groups targeted by EPA Administrator #LeeZeldin as part of a broader attack on the Biden admin’s clean energy and #climate spending.

Yes, #E15 Affects #Gas Mileage, But Here's A Reality Check
E15 was banned between June and September under federal #CleanAirAct, but now, #EPA, under #LeeZeldin, approved a measure to allow E15, commonly known as #Unleaded88, on sale through summer months of the year in a bid to help lower fuel prices.
Corn-based ethanol is a worse store of energy than fossil-based fuel, holding about one third less energy than pure gasoline. Switching to E15 means you're buying more gas.

In a Boost to #Coal, #EPA Moves to End Biden’s Toxic Ash Disposal Rules
#LeeZeldin said changes would help #US “energy dominance.” Environmentalists said they threaten #drinkingwater
Move is victory for coal industry, which had chafed at regulation that required companies to examine the condition of coal ash sites at inactive power plants, calling it overly burdensome as well as modify cleanup requirements that have been in place for over a decade.

#EnvironmentalGroups sue #Trump’s #EPA over repeal of landmark #climate finding
Lawsuit from #health and #EnvironmentalJustice groups challenges the EPA’s rollback of the ‘endangerment finding’
Dharna Noor
Wed 18 Feb 2026 07.10 EST"More than a dozen health and environmental justice non-profits have sued the Environmental Protection Agency over its revocation of the legal determination that underpins US federal climate regulations.
"Filed in Washington DC circuit court, the lawsuit challenges the EPA’s rollback of the '#EndangermentFinding', which states that the buildup of heat-trapping #pollution in the atmosphere endangers #PublicHealth and welfare and has allowed the EPA to limit those emissions from #vehicles, #PowerPlants and other #industrial sources since 2009. The rollback was widely seen as a major setback to US efforts to combat the #ClimateCrisis.
"The suit was brought by the American Public Health Association [#APHA], #AmericanLungAssociation, the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, the #EnvironmentalDefenseFund, the #NaturalResourcesDefenseCouncil [#NRDC], the #SierraClub and 11 other public health and environmental organizations. The lawsuit was filed by green legal organizations #CleanAirTaskForce and #Earthjustice and it names the EPA and the agency’s administrator, #LeeZeldin, as defendants.
" 'EPA’s repeal of the endangerment finding and #safeguards to limit vehicle emissions marks a complete dereliction of the agency’s mission to protect people’s health and its legal obligation under the #CleanAirAct,' said #GretchenGoldman, president and CEO at the #UnionOfConcernedScientists, another one of the groups behind the lawsuit. 'This shameful and dangerous action by the Trump administration and EPA Administrator Zeldin is rooted in falsehoods not facts and is at complete odds with the public interest and the best available science.' "

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: "[O]thers 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.
" 'He’s really turned out to be a chameleon in the political landscape,' said Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, who is based in Zeldin’s former congressional district. 'He’s always had higher political aspirations, and I believe he has his eyes set on the White House.”
"Green groups on the island say they feel betrayed by the slash-and-burn style Zeldin is bringing to EPA. Sea-level rise poses a serious threat to the low-lying coastal region he calls home, and he had expressed support over the years for shifting to #RenewableEnergy — in contrast to Trump’s pro-#FossilFuel agenda. As a lawmaker, he belonged to the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus and the Conservative Climate Caucus, two blocs that recognize the need to address #GlobalWarming."

#EPA Plan to Kill a Major #Climate Rule Is Worrying Business Leaders
The rule, known as the “endangerment finding,” is the conclusion by the E.P.A. that #greenhousegases endanger #publichealth and therefore must be regulated by the federal government. #LeeZeldin, the E.P.A. administrator, has said the agency would repeal the finding, claiming that the burden to industries of cutting #greenhousegas #emissions is more harmful than a warming planet.
