In this week’s update, (1) Advancing Cooperative Federalism During Administrator Zeldin’s Visit to Fairbanks, Alaska, (2) EPA Continues Supporting Reliable and Durable Baseload Power, and (3) In Visit to San Diego, Administrator Zeldin Discusses Ways EPA is Delivering for Farmers.
Advancing Cooperative Federalism During Administrator Zeldin’s Visit to Fairbanks, Alaska
Administrator Zeldin just wrapped a great visit to Fairbanks, Alaska, alongside Region 10 Administrator Emma Pokon, Governor Mike Dunleavy, and Attorney General Stephen Cox to help tackle the many challenges facing these uniquely strong Alaskans, including permafrost, WOTUS, PM2.5, coal power generation, natural gas access, DEF system failures, and so much more. The -30 degree Fairbanks winter weather wasn’t going to stop EPA from advancing cooperative federalism, a key pillar of our Powering the Great American Comeback initiative.
EPA Continues Supporting Reliable and Durable Baseload Power
While in Alaska, where winter temperatures are frequently dozens of degrees below 0, Administrator Zeldin witnessed firsthand how access to coal keeps the lights on and buildings warm. Instead of targeting reliable and durable sources of baseload power for extinction, EPA is successfully working to boost coal production for Americans who need it most. On Wednesday, Administrator Zeldin joined Alaska Governor Dunleavy and Alaska Attorney General Cox on a tour of the University of Alaska Fairbanks coal powerplant, and afterwards held a press conference.
In Visit to San Diego, Administrator Zeldin Discusses Ways EPA is Delivering for Farmers
Last week, Administrator Zeldin visited an avocado farm in Southern California highlighting the MANY ways EPA is delivering for farmers nationwide. The Agency’s recent announcements include ending Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) deratements, restoring Right to Repair so farmers can fix their own equipment, finalizing a clear Waters of the US (WOTUS) definition, and more. We are proving that EPA can both protect human health and the environment while also advance commonsense policies that increase the quality of life for farmers and Americans across the country.
