Lee Zeldin is the EPA Leader America Needs for Energy Dominance

January 16, 2025

Today, Lee Zeldin, the nominee for Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), testified before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee as part of his confirmation process. His appointment by President-Elect Trump means our environmental policy will now be that prioritizes Americans and no longer foreign adversaries. Power The Future stands firmly behind Lee Zeldin to transform the EPA into a partner, rather than an adversary, of American energy. In a press release, PTF Executive Director and Founder Daniel Turner stated:

“During the Biden Administration, the EPA was used as a weapon against American energy production and Lee Zeldin will rightfully bring that to an abrupt end. Mr. Zeldin understands no other nation produces energy while better taking care of the environment than the United States and the EPA should be a partner, not an enemy of American energy.”

Lee Zeldin’s nomination comes at a critical time for American energy. The Biden Administration’s EPA was blatant in its anti-energy policies, stifling domestic production, and hampering economic growth. Zeldin’s approach promises to change this dynamic. By recognizing the United States’ unique ability to produce energy while maintaining high environmental standards, Zeldin can steer the EPA towards policies that benefit the American people and the American worker.

Zeldin’s leadership at the EPA will be instrumental in restoring American energy independence. His understanding of the balance between energy production and environmental protection is exactly what the nation needs. Under his guidance, the EPA will play an important role lifting erroneous hurdles so energy producers can innovate and adopt safe practices, rather than being burdened by excessive regulations. This will boost the economy and ensure that the U.S. remains a global leader in energy production, which the United States produces cleaner than any other nation.

Power The Future enthusiastically supports Lee Zeldin’s nomination for EPA Administrator. His commitment to the American people and the economy makes him the ideal candidate to lead the EPA into a new era of balanced and effective policymaking. We look forward to his confirmation and the positive impact he will have on securing a prosperous and environmentally responsible future for all Americans. With Zeldin at the helm, the EPA can finally become a true partner in achieving energy dominance and environmental excellence.
