Summary

For years, the job of the Environmental Protection Agency often conflicted with the interests of American industry, but President Trump’s new appointee to lead the agency believes it’s possible to have it both ways. Attorney, former congressman, and the latest person to take on the mantle of EPA Administrator, Lee Zeldin discusses his de-regulatory approach to a position that his historically been synonymous with the opposite. Administrator Lee explains his misgivings about the Obama-era EPA’s Endangerment Finding and how repealing it will benefit the nation financially, as well as how billions of dollars were misplaced under the guise of environmental protection policies.
