EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has announced a sweeping rollback of 31 regulations from the Biden and Obama administrations, including a reconsideration of the 2009 “endangerment finding” that classified greenhouse gases like CO2 as pollutants. This move challenges the legal foundation behind Net Zero policies and broad climate regulations.
Texas Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian praised the decision, stating that the rollback aligns with President Trump’s commitment to dismantling policies that hinder American energy production. Christian emphasized that CO2 was labeled a pollutant to justify restrictions on fossil fuels, calling the Net Zero agenda a “house of cards.” He reaffirmed his support for policies that prioritize American energy dominance and reduce regulatory burdens on the industry.
