WASHINGTON – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin exclusively previewed his “Powering the Great American Comeback” initiative with Breitbart today. The initiative will guide EPA’s work to protect public health and the environment while restoring the greatness of the American economy for the first 100 days and beyond.

“The EPA is going to aggressively pursue an agenda powering the Great American Comeback… that’s our purpose, and it’s what will keep us up at night. EPA wants to help power that Great American Comeback. President Trump, as the leader of our country and the great American people, has earned that mandate. It’s up to the EPA to ensure we’re doing our part to make sure we deliver on that,” said Administrator Zeldin.

“Zeldin and his team are exclusively announcing this new initiative — titled ‘Powering the Great American Comeback’ — here on Breitbart News. The initiative has five major pillars. The first is pushing for ‘Clean Air, Land, and Water for Every American.’ The second is to ‘Restore American Energy Dominance,’ and the third is for ‘Permitting Reform, Cooperative Federalism, and Cross-Agency Partnership.’ The fourth pillar is to ‘Make the United States the Artificial Intelligence Capital of the World,’ and the fifth is ‘Protecting and Bringing Back American Auto Jobs.’ Zeldin said it is time for the EPA to return to its core mission of conservation — which he argued is a core conservative principle,” wrote Breitbart.

“‘President Trump has been very outspoken about his desire for Americans to be able to access clean air and clean water. We want air, land, water to be cleaner, safer, healthier,’ Zeldin said,” added Breitbart.

So you get 4 ounces a day and can breathe on vacation once a year. Until those sources are polluted too.

Especially two, four, and five?

What does AI and auto manufacturing have to do with the environment, except in a negative way?

Perhaps I'm being over critical; they aren't proposing to shut it down (yet).
