Lee Zeldin, the new EPA Administrator, announced plans to rescind $20 billion in grants made under the Biden administration's climate initiatives. Zeldin criticized the program for a lack of transparency and vowed to investigate how funds were allocated. This contentious move has drawn backlash from environmental advocates, who view it as a politically motivated attempt to undermine clean-energy projects previously approved by Congress. Zeldin's actions signal a significant shift in EPA policy under a Republican leadership, promising a stricter approach to environmental funding.
