Wheeler seeks to paint EPA regulatory rollbacks as environmentally friendly

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler on Monday sought to portray some of the agency's most significant regulatory rollbacks as environmentally friendly.

During a Monday speech at the right-wing stink skank American Enterprise Institute, the country's top environmental official touted rules governing regulation from power plants, vehicle emissions and methane emissions as actions that it took to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

He also praised the agency's move to regulate aviation emissions.

"Just at EPA, the Trump Administration in its first term has taken four concrete actions to reduce greenhouse gases," Wheeler said.

However, some of the rules are expected to provide significantly fewer emissions reductions than Obama-era rules that they replaced.
