Lummis Applauds EPA for Most Consequential Day for Deregulation in American History

March 13, 2025
Senate Western Caucus Chair Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) applauded EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin for advancing President Trump’s Day One executive orders and powering the Great American Comeback.
“For the past four years, the west was burdened by the crippling Green New Scam policies that throttled American energy and attacked Wyoming coal, oil, and gas production,”said Lummis.“I am thrilled to see Administrator Zeldin take monumental steps to bring jobs back home to the U.S., drive down the cost of living, and unleash American energy.”
“Today is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen,”saidAdministrator Zeldin.“We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S. and more. Alongside President Trump, we are living up to our promises to unleash American energy, lower costs for Americans, revitalize the American auto industry, and work hand-in-hand with our state partners to advance our shared mission.”
Background:
Yesterday, the EPA announced historic actions that will roll back trillions in regulatory costs and hidden “taxes” on U.S. families. As a result of these announcements, the cost of living for American families will decrease. It will be more affordable to purchase a car, heat homes, and operate a business. It will be more affordable to bring manufacturing into local communities while individuals widely benefit from the tangible economic impacts.
These actions will create American jobs, including incredible progress to bring back American auto jobs. The Biden and Obama era regulations being reconsidered have suffocated nearly every single sector of the American economy.
EPA Administrator Zeldin announced the following actions:
UNLEASHING AMERICAN ENERGY
LOWERING THE COST OF LIVING FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES
ADVANCING COOPERATIVE FEDERALISM
