EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is preparing to declare that greenhouse gases from fossil fuel-burning power plants don’t significantly contribute to climate change.
Even though the EPA’s own data shows that power plants are the second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., Zeldin plans to brush that off entirely so his polluting friends can keep profiting.
When pressed by SEEC Co-Chair Rep. Paul Tonko (NY-20) in a House hearing, Zeldin scrambled to justify his actions. He floated a new excuse for gutting climate rules: that the Obama administration evaluated the combined impact of six dangerous greenhouse gases instead of assessing them individually.
It doesn’t matter if you look at them separately or together: the impact of greenhouse gases is felt by our environment, our wildlife, and our climate. We need lawmakers who will speak out for our health, our future, and our planet — not polluters.
Thank you for standing up for our planet. If we don’t, who will?
