NESE Pipeline Set to Deliver Affordable Natural Gas to Millions of New Yorkers in Commonsense Win for Energy Dominance
2.3 MILLION homes in New York City and on Long Island will soon have access to affordable natural gas thanks to the new NESE Pipeline. This is a HUGE win for New York, for U.S. energy dominance, and for common sense. Next up: New York needs to urgently get behind Constitution Pipeline so natural gas can also be delivered to MILLIONS of New Englanders as well!
Alongside Department of Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Administrator Zeldin traveled to New York to participate in a groundbreaking ceremony for the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) Pipeline. Read more here.
EPA Announces New Water Reuse Plan to Strengthen Public Health Protections, Advance American Industry, and Bolster AI
Water reuse: reclaiming water from a variety of sources, treating it, and reusing it for beneficial purposes. It’s a critical tool to unleash energy dominance, strengthen industry, and enhance environmental stewardship.
That is why, on Thursday, EPA launched our Water Reuse Action Plan (WRAP) 2.0!
Building off WRAP 1.0 from President Trump’s first term, this plan will transform wastewater into clean, reliable water that can power industry while preserving freshwater resources. Many organizations nationwide are leaning into water reuse and EPA is proud to do its part to expand this technology. For more on WRAP 2.0, click here. To watch the full event, click here.
Administrator Zeldin Highlights EPA Actions to Tackle Faulty DEF Systems in Gonzales County, Texas Farmer Roundtable
Last week, in Gonzales County, Texas, Administrator Zeldin participated in a roundtable with Texas Farm Bureau and local farmers to hear directly about their top issues. One of the crucial focuses was on all the great steps EPA has been taking to tackle faulty DEF systems.
August 2025: New guidance massively reversing deratements
February 2026: Demand letter for data from manufacturers on DEF sensor failures, and new guidance to restore farmers’ Right to Repair their own equipment
April 2026: New guidance removing DEF sensors
Up Next: Proposing a new NOx rule to completely eliminate DEF deratements altogether.
We are doing everything possible to the MAXIMUM extent allowed under the current law!
