<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A coalition of energy experts on Thursday urged the incoming Trump administration to take dramatic action to ditch regulations imposed by the Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/environmental-protection-agency-epa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Environmental Protection Agency</a> and unleash American energy, according to a memo exclusively shared with The Daily Wire. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Led by the American Energy Institute, a group of energy experts sent a <a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/01/Top-10-EPA-Fact-Sheet_v2.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memo</a> to Trump EPA nominee and former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin ahead of his Senate hearing, outlining 10 steps they think he can take to roll back EPA abuse. The memo was also sent to Trump&#8217;s transition team and co-signed by the Energy &amp; Environment Legal Institute, Truth in Energy and Climate, and the American Lands Council. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“For over five decades, the EPA has amassed a troubling record of overregulation, political abuse, and mission drift, often stifling innovation, burdening the economy, and undermining public trust,” American Energy Institute CEO Jason Isaac told The Daily Wire. “This plan lays the groundwork for realigning the agency’s focus to maintaining a safe environment while bolstering America’s energy and industrial production, reducing consumer costs, and promoting government accountability.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The recommendations include freezing all EPA activities pending further review, prohibiting EPA staff from communicating with outside groups about agency activities, terminating all external science advisors, revising air quality and emissions standards, ending President Joe Biden’s electric vehicle mandate, ending policies based on climate alarmism, reforming EPA risk assessment procedures, eliminating the Office of Environmental Justice, and settling litigation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many of the memo’s recommendations entail rolling back policies the Biden administration has implemented over the last four years. For example, the memo says that the Trump administration should “reduce pointlessly burdensome air quality” regulations imposed by Biden. </span></p>
<p>&#8220;Reforming the EPA&#8217;s process toward risk assessment would help it to focus on real-world scenarios,&#8221; the memo says.</p>
<p>&#8220;Require data used as a basis for regulating be made publicly available during rulemaking,&#8221; the experts recommended. &#8220;Require cost-benefit analyses based on actual and demonstrable vs. imaginary costs and benefits.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The EPA needs more draining than just about any other part of the Swamp,” Myron Ebell, chair of the American Lands Council and former leader of Trump’s EPA transition told The Daily Wire. “Biden&#8217;s greenhouse gas regulations on power plants are raising electric rates and making the grid less reliable, so Trump&#8217;s EPA must start undoing them immediately.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another former Trump EPA transition team member who signed onto the memo was Steve Milloy, now a senior fellow at the Energy &amp; Environment Legal Institute. He predicted that the agency would be one of the most resistant to the president’s agenda. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“EPA has a 54-year history of junk science-fueled, job killing environmental overregulation. It is chock-full of anti-Trump ‘resistance’ and will be the toughest agency for President Trump to rein in,” he said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Zeldin’s hearing before the Senate Committee on Public Works and the Environment is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. EST. </span></p>
