Five potential Trump EPA picks
Source: The Hill
President-elect Donald Trump is due to announce “almost all” of his remaining Cabinet picks in the coming week, likely including his Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator.
The nominee, who is subject to Senate confirmation, would oversee the 15,000-employee agency that writes and enforces regulations on air pollution, water pollution, climate change, land contamination and more.
The EPA head would also be responsible for Trump’s aggressive deregulatory push.
On the campaign trail, Trump pledged to roll back all of President Obama’s climate agenda, including the Clean Power Plan, which limits carbon dioxide from power plants.
He said that the Clean Water Rule, known as the Waters of the United States rule, would be undone, and all existing regulations would be reviewed for potential changes or repeal.
