I think the header caption better portrays what Zeldin is trying to do.
>“Lee Zeldin, the E.P.A. administrator, reframed his agency’s mission, saying it is to make it cheaper to buy cars, heat homes and run businesses.“
And more specifically, the following quote outlines specific eliminations. Bolded for emphasis
>Mr. Zeldin said the E.P.A. would unwind more than two dozen protections against air and water pollution. It would **overturn limits on soot from smokestacks** that have been linked to respiratory problems in humans and premature deaths as well as restrictions on emissions of mercury, a neurotoxin. It would get rid of the “good neighbor rule” that requires states to address their own pollution when it’s carried by winds into neighboring states. And it would **eliminate enforcement efforts that prioritize the protection of poor and minority communities.** In addition, when the agency creates environmental policy, it would **no longer consider the costs to society from wildfires, droughts, storms and other disasters** that might be made worse by pollution connected to that policy, Mr. Zeldin said.
>In perhaps its most consequential act, the agency said it would work to **erase the E.P.A.’s legal authority to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases** by reconsidering decades of science that show global warming is endangering humanity. In his video, Mr. Zeldin derisively referred to that legal underpinning as “the holy grail of the climate change religion.”
Mods, feel free to take this down if this is too similar to what was posted earlier. I think this article makes the consequences more clear than the EPA official statement.
Nothing is more based and redpilled than blasting scorched carbon into the air and giving your kid asthma.

gonna be really funny seeing the administration try to convince courts that carbon dioxide emissions are not dangerous to human health

I was going to comment on (I think it was) Goldman Sachs’ revised US GDP preductions but ended up not doing it, but I’ll do it here.
How are there seriously investors who still think the deregulation coming from this administration is in any way positive? Like, from what little I’ve kept up with they’ve barely cut any red tape meaningfully blocking economic progress while gutting genuinely vital shit, if you asked me the impacts I’d expect from them it would be entirely negative by embedding uncertainty and chaos into US institutions and throttling innovation while trying to prop up what should rightfully be the losers of the energy transition.
I don’t give a fuck if it’ll be slightly cheaper to produce and consume unsustainably in the next decade thanks to Trump, when you see what China is doing with renewables you can’t possibly think this shit will help US industries become competitive in the future.
Maybe I should just give up on understanding the finance world because this shit is dumb as hell.

Wonder what all the “Make America Healthy Again” idiots have to say about this one. I guess poisoned lungs are a necessary sacrifice to remove measles vaccinations.

When America becomes a barren hellscape it will no longer be necessary to hear homes.
