In what he called the “most consequential day of deregulation in American history,” the head of the Environmental Protection Agency announced a series of actions Wednesday to roll back landmark environmental regulations, including rules on pollution from coal-fired power plants, climate change and electric vehicles.

“We are driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age,’’ EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in an essay in The Wall Street Journal.

        They don’t, it’s an easy distraction from trying to dismantle the entire U.S. system and consolidate power to the executive branch. Most of the people in charge will be dead by the time climate change gets bad. They don’t care about anything but enriching themselves.

    This guy is a clown. The new 3 of the “5 pillars” of his EPA administration don’t have anything to do with its mission. Bringing back the auto industry, empowering the energy industry, and being a leader in AI.

    Any country trying to pay the US back for our involvement in past regime changes… Now would be a really good time. Please.
