He didn\u2019t just reverse bad policies, and pull us out of the Paris Climate Agreement, he went farther than he did in his first term to ramp up American energy production and rein in an Environmental Protection Agency that regulated far beyond its mandate. Among at least 47 climate- and energy-related EOs signed in the first 24 hours of his swearing-in was one tackling what has long served as the keystone of limitless environmental regulation: the \u201cendangerment finding\u201d for carbon dioxide emissions. May we finally see the end of the EPA\u2019s abuse of its regulatory power?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Heartland Institute\u2019s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely are joined by special guest Myron Ebell, who was on President Trump\u2019s EPA Transition Team for his first term, to break down what these reversals of radical climate and energy policy will mean for America and the world.
