Administrator Zeldin Travels to Georgia with Vice President Vance to Highlight Efforts to Lower Costs for Americans
The Biden EPA’s Technology Transitions Rule phased out certain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pumps with a frantic and rushed transition. In turn, commercial costs at the grocery store went up, while residential access to affordable AC units, supplies, and maintenance became more difficult for the American people. It also hurt semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S.
The Trump EPA is now fixing it! Our formal proposal about to be released is focused on preserving access to affordable refrigerants and HVACs by allowing companies to continue installing systems that have already been manufactured or imported into the US, while not forcing Americans to replace their whole HVAC system when only part of it needs to be replaced. Common sense for the win again!

Administrator Zeldin Reaffirms Commitment to a Zero Tolerance Policy for Waste and Abuse in Government
ZERO TOLERANCE: The Trump EPA terminates ALL green slush funds riddled with waste and abuse. Up to $29 BILLION CANCELLED thus far, which is over 3x the size of EPA’s annual operating budget.
This week, Administrator Zeldin joined a special edition of Special Report with Bret Baier on Fox News hosted at EPA Headquarters. He also joined New York Post’s Miranda Devine on her new Podcast, Pod Force One, to discuss how waste and abuse will not be tolerated at the Trump EPA.
