EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin was on “Wake Up America Weekend” on Newsmax on Saturday to talk about President Trump’s energy dominance.
Zeldin explained that climate alarmists contributed to unnecessary regulations that cost Americans trillions of dollars.
The video opens with Zeldin this past week at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Northeast Supply Enhancement Pipeline.
“This project will move gas underwater from Pennsylvania to New York to help meet the high energy demands in the area. One of the many initiatives from the Trump EPA to help bring down the cost of energy,” Newsmax host said.
“So, tell us about this project, and why projects like this are so important?” Newsmax host asked.
“Thanks to President Trump’s leadership after he declared a national energy emergency and formed the National Energy Dominance Counsel right after he was sworn back in for this term. He was strongly advocating for this NESE pipeline to get built to deliver natural gas to millions of families,” Zeldin said.
“This project now had a groundbreaking this past week and it’s expected to be done by the end of 2027 and this is something that’s been an urgent need,” Zeldin said.
“I’m a New Yorker. I was an elected official on Long Island for a very long time. There has been a desperate push for more natural gas supply, but it didn’t get done until President Trump pushed for it,” Zeldin continued.
“Last week, you gave the keynote speech at the Heartland Institute Conference on climate change in Washington DC,” Newsmax said.
Zeldin explained that when a person disagrees with the climate alarmists, they are usually attacked and labeled. One of the main reasons is because these climate extremists want to hold on to power.

"“What happened in 2009 was that the Obama administration created this endangerment finding to give themselves power to put forth trillions of dollars of regulation,” Zeldin explained."

The "Endangerment Finding" is gone. Every act that passed the Maine government to promote solar, wind and batteries and every act that mandated participation in RGGI and EMT is now defunct and immediate repeal of these acts must occur and include ratepayer reparations. Lawsuits are coming.

Can I get reparations on my car because the engine stops and must restart if I stop for more than a second or two? It is not just annoying and damaging to the starter. It actually causes a tiny delay when starting which is unsafe.
