Trump’s EPA now says 8,000 big polluters, especially coal-burning power plants, plus steel mills and oil refineries, don’t have to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions anymore. Walsh’s prediction occurred when Zeldin announced EPA had no regulatory justification for even curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Zeldin, obeying a prior Trump executive order, claimed ending the GHG report would have “no material impact” on EPA’s oversight of GHG emissions. As a former Republican congressman from Eastern Long Island, his constituents were victims for years of another impact of power plant emissions.
