President-elect Donald Trump is set to roll back the Biden administration’s climate policies with the appointment of Former New York GOP Representative Lee Zeldin as his administration’s new ‘Energy Czar’ [and EPA administrator]. [emphasis, links added]
Zeldin has a colorful military background and is known for his conservative stance against the destructive green agenda pushed by the left.
“I am deeply honored to have been asked by President Trump to serve in his Cabinet,” Zeldin said in a statement.
“As EPA Administrator, we will restore American energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, make the United States the global leader of Artificial Intelligence advancement, and slash the red tape holding back American workers from upward economic mobility.”
“We will accomplish all this while conserving our environment, protecting access to clean air and water, and keeping the American people healthy.”
“I look forward to contributing to President Trump’s agenda to build a more prosperous future for our nation,” he concluded.
On Monday, Trump issued a statement after appointing Zeldin:
“Lee, with a very strong legal background, has been a true fighter for America First policies.
“He will ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses, while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the planet.”
Trump’s transition team is already laying the groundwork for the new administration’s energy and environment agenda with the help of two former cabinet members and fossil fuel lobbyists.
The aim will be to overhaul the agencies responsible for safeguarding the nation’s air, water, climate, and public lands.
The Trump team will also issue a series of executive orders aimed at shaping climate and energy policies.
Key actions will include:
- Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement
- Dismantling offices focused on pollution impacting poor communities (ESG and DEI)
- Reducing the size of national monuments in the West to boost drilling and mining
The aim will be to dismantle programs they believe do not contribute to economic improvement.
Trump will also end the current halt on permitting new natural gas export terminals implemented by the Biden-Harris administration and revoke a longstanding waiver allowing states to enforce stricter pollution standards than the federal government.
Insiders said the transition team is also keen on advancing Trump’s plan to relocate tens of thousands of federal employees, beginning with those at the E.P.A.

A national park worth reducing early in Trump 2.0 is the one near Boca Chica, Texas. Sell a square km or three to SpaceX.
The Demo-Rats just want total control of our lives that’s why they want Global Government run by the Useless Nations and they w ant Open Borders and Disarmed Public its all the plans of the UN, CFR Globalists
Go team Trump. Please invade the UK again and replace our idiot marxist Government who are ending the supply of cheap plentiful energy that our developed economy depends upon. Led by ignorant posturing fools who are the only “World leaders” at COP29. Because the real leaders are not quite that stupid. Ours have joined to lead the 3rd World grifters with their hands out, claiming reparations for things that have measurably not happened, except their corruption. The UK is leaving the countries that have created wealth and developed futures for their populations with the cheap, clean fossil and nuclear energy. The energy essential to powering such an economy, that renewables simply cannot deliver, on the laws of physics engineers know, and these ignorant narcissists think they can change, to profit themselves and their elite backers in many cases. WE are made to pay the price of our own termination as a developed economy. To them.
The UK Climate Change Act was based on a lie and written by former PR girl from Friends of the earth, with an English Literature degree and NO quantitative understanding of energy supply, just a mad obsession with reducing CO2, but no idea why. Bryony Worthington was intent on authoring the death of the UK’s still prospering economy. Ed Milliband paid her to draft the law to impose this ignorant destruction. They claimed CO2 would create global problems it never could, and more has in fact had only benefits we can measure, slight warming and improved agriculture due to more drought resilient and productive plants. The whole scam is based on the lie funded through dubious University “science” by the UN, made up in models that are not real or provable, and wholly wrong in their predictions. Designed by the UN to impoverish Western developed economies and enrich their greedy sovereign elites, at the expense of those they have power over. Read UN Agenda 21/30 for details. Trump understands all this. Why not our government? What’s in it for them, to o impose avoidable and pointless poverty on us?
Still happening because ignorant politicians “signed a UN treaty” designed to create this “economic re alignment” , that was clearly stated to be designed by the UN to this end, yet they never understood what that meant. They then enacted laws based on the wholly false premise of negative impacts of CO2, a gas that is the basis of plant of animal life, and called it a pollutant. Any one calling CO2 a pollutant lacks the basic education to hold any position of power and must be removed from it, they are too stupid to hold it. Our politicians are both too stupid and too ignorant to understand this simple truth of soaring energy costs and no problems from more CO2. Criminally negligent, and not educated to rule a technologically dependent country
They plan to complete the wreck age of our once developed economy by their net zero law. How do we now get rid of these ignorant fools, elected by a population too ignorant or gullible to trouble to understand energy and climate reality they can easily check – but would rather believe the lies than do the work to understand?

No mention of Keystone XL, or maybe it’s a given that Republicans will bless it’s completion?

What do you call 1,000 EPA employees at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start…..
Hosannah!! This is BIG — perhaps the biggest of all — nothing is more important in sustaining our living standard than affordable energy! I hope Zeldin is up to dealing with the hell-fire that the climate-fear profiteers (and their complicit, but ignorant, supporters) are going to reign down on his head. The world-wide benefits that will accrue as the result of setting this example are enormous!
I am enjoying this. The Democrats could have held office but for the Green New Deal/Inflation Reduction Act farce. I’m waiting for them to admit it.
