The EPA issued celebrated 143 businesses and organizations for improving energy efficiency technologies, all while the Trump administration is proposing to kill off the Energy Star program.
The Trump administration wants to get rid of this popular program, which has saved families and businesses $430 billion on utility bills and reduced climate-changing pollution by 2.7 billion metric tons since it started 25 years ago.
The new head of the Energy Department—an agency he once vowed to eliminate—denies the scientific consensus on climate change, opposes the Clean Power Plan, and has accepted more than $11 million in campaign contributions from the fossil fuel industry.
A radically backward approach to environment and energy, the America First Energy Plan reiterates President Trump’s commitment to rolling back federal safeguards that allow Americans to breathe clean air and drink clean water.
