EPA's Lee Zeldin Weighs in on the Northeast Supply Enhancement Pipeline
by David Greyson
April 18, 2026
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.

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.

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.

"“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."

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
