Yesterday, the Senate confirmed former congressman Lee Zeldin to direct the Environmental Protection Agency. Although the Trump administration has promised a reform, there will be great challenges in that. Although high profile jobs are named, nut governance work and screws are made by career employees, and almost 90 percent of them are Democrats.
If you don’t like the mission of a president, they simply move as slowly. They are colluded using non -governmental email addressesAs the former EPA administrators, Lisa P. Jackson and Carol Browner. If they have a hidden agenda, They can Release the names of 80,000 farm employees to environmental groups, including known eco-terroristsAnd they say they made a mistake.
Given most of the 18,000 employees, they voted against their party, that will be a challenge.

However, there is also good news. When EPA groups are led by scientists, they are no less ethical than the academy or the corporate sector. In fact, I have enjoyed talking to EPA scientists and asking how they felt when a new administration enters and wants a new review of a product they just approved. They simply shrug and do the job again.
If the EPA returns to that, we can leave behind the disasters of the recent past. Here are three things that administrator Zeldin can do to have a great impact immediately, and gain the confidence that the public has lost.
1. Bring science back. During the Biden years, scientists were replaced by epidemiologists and epidemiologists ignore real -world things as plausible biological mechanisms and toxoicology and chemistry. If you can analyze the data of the spreadsheet and “link” XA and and declare the statistical importance in which they publish Environmental health perspectivesThe internal newspaper of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, which is often dedicated to undermining science and begins to request prohibitions.
EPA is not Niehs, it must be based on science. If marine fisheries or one of the other services want to bring epidemiologists and claim everything that was “correlated” with a problem, let them do it, but the EPA must be scientific, as they were before the Biden years.
2.
Imagine a world in which partisdans in the government do not want place go to court and ask the Court to undo its own science -based regulations. The court, as baffled as the public is for that logic, agreed to allow the EPA to be unoccupied … and then the EPA created new regulations, based on epidemiology, not science, that the levels of traces demanded so low cannot be used.
Using Chevron’s deference, the Biden administration was able to create de facto Deep in chemicals that Democrats do not like them (they turned to the procedure in vaccines in 2021, not in everything else, and that is bad for public health. The Biden administration can lose more high -profile judicial cases per day that direct the country that any president in history, but threw so many regulations using agencies in the world that still did a lot of damage.

3. Not voluntary to act out of character for other agencies or the White House.
It would be strange for the EPA to volunteer to help the Department of Education to prevent illegal immigrants from being deported. However, during the Biden years they offered as volunteers to send strongly armed federal border to family farms to force the inspections of the artificial ponds used to water cattle to create an “frozen cold” about the drastic expansion of the president of the president of the waters of The United States Law, which was already unconstitutional during Obama’s attempt. President Biden changed some words and promulgated again and was immediately challenged in the Court, but before the former administration Michael Regan, a generational progressive bureaucrat could be heard, declared that family farms “navigable waters” of the United States.
Obviously, a pond on a farm does not carry a battleship, but that the EPA Biden tortured both the law and the intention that they declared that the water of the pond could be leaked on the ground, run into a river and, therefore, to the Armed federal agents terrorizing families. necessary.
Obviously, there are more things that need arranged. For example, EPA should stop making poor people pay more for cars exempting states as California of emission laws so that they can force fuel companies to make special formulations that increase the cost. The allies in the media now claim that there is no electric car mandate, but obviously there is if it tells car companies how many electric vehicles sell, or otherwise. That must disappear so that electric cars can win or lose in a fair playing field. The same with solar panels and wind mills and nuclear energy. No more winners and losers of Fiat Government.
But these three things would make everything else possible, including mitigation of climate change, and I hope to see their progress.

In 18 months thinking about the source of the label before passing the products.
Seriously, there is a reason why medicines approval now take a decade and cost one billion dollars, which means that only large pharmaceuticals can survive the process and small businesses with new products sell them. That reason are the mechanisms of the FDA of the Clinton years.
