What happened

Well supportedReported by 20 independent outlets

The Environmental Protection Agency, led by Lee Zeldin, is proposing policy changes to repeal existing environmental standards under the Trump administration. The EPA announced plans to scrap a Biden-era rule aimed at curbing large methane leaks from oil and gas operations. Furthermore, the EPA has finalized a repeal of almost all of Biden's 2024 standards, which could save the American taxpayer around $310 billion.
