12 Mar 2025 ~~ By Ward Clark
The winning continues apace: On Wednesday, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the EPA will be undertaking what is liable to be the largest deregulation effort in American history - for now. Watch:
There is a list of proposed actions at the link, but let's just look at a few:
- Reconsideration of regulations on power plants (Clean Power Plan 2.0)
- Reconsideration of regulations throttling the oil and gas industry (OOOO b/c)
- Reconsideration of Mercury and Air Toxics Standards that improperly targeted coal-fired power plants (MATS)

Now, here's a great one for "termination."
Terminating Biden’s Environmental Justice and DEI arms of the agency (EJ/DEI)
Once again, the left sticks the word "justice" on the end of a random word, and suddenly, it's a social issue requiring immediate, frantic action, but the Trump administration and Administrator Zeldin aren't having any of it. These departments were not only irrelevant to the EPA's core function, but they were and are the stuff you'd find behind the south end of a northbound bull, and deserve to be treated the same way - scooped up and tossed out as fertilizer.

It's a new day at the EPA. It's a new day all over the United States, and in a year, the amount of wasteful spending and onerous regulation will be greatly reduced - maybe even to livable levels. But Congress is going to have to act to make a lot of this permanent, so let's not get too happy just yet; we have a couple more election cycles ahead that will be key to sustaining this momentum.
Commentary:
Hmmm....., "
Environmental Justice and DEI arms of the agency"
Sounds like something from Stalin's 1950s USSR. or a Moa Zedong program...
Smaller government, less regulation, more freedom...Lee Zeldin would have been a great governor for New York. Glad he’s in the Trump administration.
