Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin will soon repeal a scientific determination that requires the federal government to combat climate change, according to the White House. The action will have taken just over a year to finalize, a remarkably rapid pace for an agency that typically spends at least three years on such efforts.
Bracewell’s Jeffrey Holmstead, a former EPA official under President George W. Bush, said the second Trump administration was barreling toward the Supreme Court.
“They’ve moved very quickly, especially compared to the first Trump administration, where they didn’t do much of anything in their first year,” Holmstead said. “This time they’re much more organized and they have a pretty clear playbook.”
