Massive Victory: EPA Power Grab Ends — The Climate Realism Show #217

Massive Victory: EPA Power Grab Ends — The Climate Realism Show #217

Author: The Heartland Institute September 19, 2026 Duration: 1:29:04

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin on Monday announced the repeal of an Obama/Biden rule that regulated emissions of greenhouse gases from power plants with the intent to shutter all coal and most natural gas power plants in America. This was a long-time coming and the usual climate doomers are upset. This is huge news, but what does the repeal of the rule really mean for the environment and your wallet.

 

On Episode 216 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will discuss this news with Steve Milloy, who was on the transition team for EPA in President Trump’s first term. We will also be joined again by Heartland UK/Europe Director Lois Perry to discuss the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including climate change putting African rain summoning sorcerers at risk of being murdered.
