  1. >We will restore US energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, and make the US the global leader of AI.

    So, the Environmental Destruction Administration, then.

  2. When the job title is Environmental Protection, one might assume you’d be focused on protecting the environment.

    I guess technically this quote from Zeldin includes the environment:

    “We will restore US energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, and make the US the global leader of AI. We will do so while protecting access to clean air and water”.

    Good job, fellow Americans!

  3. He plans to ensue access to clean air and water by…

    Checks notes…

    Rolling back regulations that protect air and water. Got it.

    This doublespeak is to be expected in nearly all sectors of federal government between now and January 20th.

  4. My initial dyslexia read was Led Zeppelin. Kinda made sense because when the levee breaks we’ll have no place to stay.

  6. So, you voted for Trump. You are a fucking idiot! You have thrown out the constitution.

  7. “Restore energy dominance”

    Guess which country leads oil and nat gas production😆

  8. I’m actually suprised, figured he would just eliminate the EPA altogether

  10. He’s done some environmentally positive things but I see this next 4 years as the EPA just at a standstill. Just like last time.

  11. Is he a normal GOP pick for his position or is he a Nazi like all GOP in this position role back regulations but how far will this guy go?

  12. Just doom scrolling and thought it said Led Zeppelin. Double take.

  13. Water and air are very clean when they are boiling. The more we cook the ocean, the cleaner it gets.

  14. What is the most effective way to oppose this as a regular citizen?

    Organize mass protests to shut down major cities?

    Sue the EPA on behalf of future generations?

    There must be a way to hit them where it hurts? I want to do something other than doomscroll and despair.

  16. I hope the planet dies quick and doesn’t draw this shit out on us.

  17. Because those envoirmental regulations in place have been really holding us back from clean water and energy

  18. I saw led zeppelin. Maybe it’s time to get off the phone

  19. It’s better than his first pick, a sentient piece of coal and his wife, a barrel of oil.

  20. Trump’s number one priority, by far, is to be slavishly deferential to the fossil fuel companies. He has said as much.

    Trump knows what side of the bread is buttered. We are so fucked.
