 EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has faced significant bipartisan criticism recently for his actions at the Environmental Protection Agency. In a Senate hearing, Zeldin was criticized for freezing and canceling billions of dollars in funding for environmental programs, including those aimed at reducing pollution in minority communities and promoting clean energy. This decision has been denounced by Democrats as illegal and unconstitutional, as it contradicts a decades-old law that prohibits such executive actions without congressional approval.

Zeldin's stance on environmental issues has been contentious. He has claimed that the ENERGY STAR program, which saves families and businesses billions of dollars annually, is not a statutory obligation and could be run by a private entity. However, this assertion has been disputed by experts who argue that Congress directed the government to implement the program, and it has been highly successful under EPA oversight.

Moreover, Zeldin's plan to roll back environmental protections has been criticized for potentially increasing pollution and health risks. The plan targets several key safeguards, including limits on mercury and air toxics from coal plants, which could lead to significant health impacts, according to environmental advocates. Zeldin's actions align with the Trump administration's broader agenda to reduce regulations and promote economic growth, which has been met with skepticism from environmental groups.

Zeldin's leadership at the EPA has also been linked to Project 2025, a conservative blueprint for policy overhaul, despite his claims of not being influenced by it. The project's goals include deregulation and expanding presidential powers, which aligns with Zeldin's recent actions to dismantle environmental protections and eliminate the agency's environmental justice wing.
