Fresh off announcing plans to accelerate climate change by deregulating<\/a> carbon dioxide emissions, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin appeared on Fox Business Thursday to boast about the Trump administration speeding up the flow of gas.<\/p>\n

Yes, really.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just sent a letter last week to the portable gas-can manufacturers, encouraging them strongly to vent the can. There’s a lot of frustration from Americans across the country because what should take 45 seconds takes 5 minutes. People feel like they need 3 hands or 6 hands to pour a gas can. Those vents should be added back in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Zeldin sent a letter<\/a> last week begging gas-can manufacturers to redesign their spouts. His key-jangling pledge<\/a> to \u201cMake Gas Cans Great Again\u201d came just days after announcing<\/a> plans to dismantle the EPA\u2019s Office of Research and Development, which is structured to insulate research from political interference.<\/p>\n

But Zeldin is just one face of a multiheaded monster that puts business and billionaire interests above public health, joining charlatans such as Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Martin Makary<\/a>, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/a>, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Collectively, the Trump administration has proven that it\u2019s not a team of public servants but a coalition of grifters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fresh off announcing plans to accelerate climate change by deregulating carbon dioxide emissions, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[49,48,295,66],"class_list":["post-41405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-environment","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
