Trump picked Lee Zeldin to lead the EPA. What will that mean for environmental policy?
https://grist.org/article/donald-trump-lee-zeldin-epa-environmental-policy
Expect:
* deregulation justified as boosts for economy
* platitudes [meaningless statements] about importance of clean air/water
* Fox News interview: Zeldin talked vaguely about reversing slate of regulations “forcing businesses to struggle/sending American jobs overseas“ 🤔

Environmental defenders are raising alarm over Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, former New York Congressmember Lee Zeldin, who has a history of opposing critical environmental protections and clean energy job investments. Zeldin’s nomination comes as Trump is reportedly discussing moving the EPA headquarters outside of Washington, D.C., which could lead to an exodus of staff and expertise from the agency. “I really don’t think this is about government efficiency. I think this is about terrorizing the career staff,” says Judith Enck, who served as a regional administrator of the EPA in the Obama administration.
