Energy Hypocrisy Madness: Director Michael Regan vs. Gov. Gavin Newsom

March 27, 2023

This week we start with a battle between federal and state government leaders. The U.S. Environmental Administrator Michael Regan and California Governor Gavin Newsom go head-to-head to see who is the most hypocritical regarding their energy policies. Learn more about what landed these two in our Energy Hypocrisy Madness and vote for your choice on the Power The Future Twitter account. 

EPA Director Michael Regan – A potential sleeper, the EPA Administrator has managed to inflict tremendous regulatory damage, including a veto on Pebble Mine in Alaska and the overreach of the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rewrite. On top of that, Administrator Regan regularly meets and coordinates with dark money eco-left groups.

California Governor Gavin Newsom – Newsom is a well-known climate cultist, yet even he can’t live up to the hype. Nearly immediately after he demanded Californians buy only electric vehicles, he begged EV owners not to charge them in order to keep the grid stable. Governor Newsom didn’t mention the fragile grid is a result of his push down the unreliable “green road.”
