NEW from @epaleezeldin: Moving at ‘Trump Speed’ to Cut Red Tape, Make U.S. Energy More Accessible
More pipelines are on the way. More relief is on the way. We are entering a GOLDEN AGE of AMERICAN ENERGY. 🇺🇸
If you own it, you should have the freedom to fix it!
President Trump just signed a new Presidential Memo protecting Americans’ freedom to fix their own vehicle if they so desire. The President’s action also combats cheap foreign aftermarket vehicle parts while also breaking up the monopoly the California Air Resources Board has had over certifying aftermarket parts. This is an idea from the top when President Trump called me one recent Saturday night saying he wants this Memo drafted, signed and implemented at Trump Speed instantly.
Visiting the Palisades and Altadena fire areas these past two days, the greatest sound was from all the hammers pounding away as thousands rebuild their homes, lives, and community. Our work certainly isn't yet done, but the progress is simply awesome. President Trump has consistently made it clear to me to do everything in EPA’s power everyday to help the cause and we have been proudly hard at work to do our part to assist.
States like New York (which is vastly rich in untapped energy resources) have absolutely no good logical reason whatsoever to be ramping up a foolish dependency on foreign countries and foreign companies to supply energy needs.
One of my first acts as EPA Administrator was instituting and enforcing a ZERO TOLERANCE policy towards ANY waste and abuse. In 2025, the Trump EPA saved $30 BILLION at an agency with an annual operating budget of $10 BILLION. I explained how that was possible during remarks last week at the National Association of Home Builders’ conference in DC.
In my first 9.5 months as EPA Administrator last year, I traveled to all 50 states to hear directly from Americans on their highest priority asks. The best way to run this federal agency isn’t to be stuck sitting at a desk in DC. Just got back from Oklahoma, Indiana, North Carolina, and New York as we keep our commitment to be out with the great people of our country as much as possible.
President Trump has had the Environmental Protection Agency going all out, gang busters to do EVERYTHING in our power to help Los Angeles wildfire victims recover and rebuild from what truly felt apocalyptic when I was there on the ground in the immediate aftermath.
From very proactive fire prevention to robust water infrastructure and more, this tragedy will hopefully never be repeated again anywhere in America.
What’s better than a rare Super Delta formation featuring the Thunderbirds and the @USNavy Blue Angels over Washington, D.C.?
Watching it from four different views for #UFCWhiteHouse as part of #Freedom250. 🇺🇸
LFGK! Such a long time coming. Even though we all thought those 90s team would be able punch it over, it only makes this Knicks win now that much sweeter. Brunson. OG. So clutch. Such an amazing team. It’s no longer 0-0.
Just joined the great @hughhewitt to discuss the robust and continued Trump Admin efforts to assist Los Angeles wildfire victims with their response, recovery, and rebuild since the first moment President Trump was sworn back into office.
New York politicians like Kathy Hochul couldn’t be any stupider in their stubborn refusal to reverse the state’s ban on the extraction of natural gas. In the alternative, they should at least allow Constitution Pipeline to be built to deliver PA natural gas through NY and into New England, but even that level of common sense is too much for their low IQ brains to wrap their heads around. So sad the way they are enthusiastically driving their state into the ground.
Not only should it not be controversial that I refuse to give myself powers that are not clearly stated in federal law, but that should absolutely be the standard, the constant of how an EPA Administrator approaches this position. Strictly adhere to the single best reading of the law pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright, and don’t ever get creative in trying to give myself any powers that the law hasn’t given me. If Congress wants me to do something other than the single best reading of the law, then they should try to change the law instead of demanding that I circumvent statute.
The EPA’s Long Island Sound Geographic program has been an enormous success. Great to be back in Oyster Bay, NY, promoting our continued efforts to protect this vital estuary of national significance.
It’s wild just how much food gets wasted and trashed into landfills. Over the weekend, I was in New York’s Hudson Valley with @RepMikeLawler touring a Rockland Green facility where food waste is being recycled into compost. The Trump EPA proudly launched our Feed it Onward initiative last year, partnering with individuals and entities across America to reduce food waste in many important ways.
Constitution Pipeline would deliver affordable, durable natural gas from Pennsylvania, through New York, and on to millions of New Englanders who desperately need it and have been relying on foreign energy sources and higher prices. Bizarrely, NY Governor Kathy Hochul has been yet again rejecting basic common sense and blocking this vital project. The pipeline is so critical for the region to get built!
Overriding local control, Albany politicians have massively ramped up their railroading of upstate communities, forcing them to take on the burden of far more solar farms on farmland. While in the southern tier this morning, I spoke out on behalf of the many upstate residents who are having their voices and opinions ignored and rejected by Governor Hochul and her henchmen of power hungry, out of touch Albany bureaucrats.
New York’s primary energy source is natural gas from out of state and out of country. While there is stiff competition in the category of most idiotic policies in NY, the state’s ban on natural gas extraction may be the pace setter. Was in Binghamton this morning to talk about this abundant energy resource that is available in the ground underneath NY. Despite all the jobs, lower cost of living, increased revenue, and vibrant downtowns that would come with reversing the state’s ban, Albany politicians like Kathy Hochul and her friends just refuse to apply basic common sense and lead NY back to greatness.
