EPA Administrator Talks Unleashing Wyoming Energy

Deputy Administrator to the EPA David Fotouhi was in Wyoming, and he asked to come on Wyoming's morning radio talk show with Glenn Woods and talk about a few items of interest to the state and the region.

He was in Jackson Hole, touring different sites and speaking at the Environmental Council of States conference.

On Monday, he visited the Karns Meadow Stormwater Treatment Wetland. He was joined by Wyoming DEQ director Todd Parfitt.

On Tuesday, he will be touring the Pinedale Anticline Natural Gas Field. The field is operated by PureWest Energy, which is Wyoming’s largest natural gas producer.

The Trump EPA is committed to providing clean air for all Americans while also ensuring reliable energy. The Trump EPA is ensuring that Wyoming has reliable and affordable baseload power

Listen to the full interview below.

In June, EPA proposed to save the Dave Johnston power plant in Converse County, Wyoming. The Dave Johnston power plant uses local Wyoming coal, supports hundreds of Wyoming mining and energy jobs, and is essential to delivering reliable, affordable energy to families across the state.

PA’s proposal is another example of how the agency can both ensure the continued availability of reliable, affordable baseload power and fulfill regional haze requirements to improve visibility in the nation's national parks.

Mr. Fotouhi spoke with Glenn about the Trump EPA's plan to lower the cost of Living for Americans. Over the past 19 months, the EPA has cut several heavy-handed rules from the Biden Administration that raised costs without providing the human health and environmental protection they promised.

He explained how the EPA has taken action to lower the cost of cars and energy.
He would be happy to talk about those actions, including work on Diesel Exhaust Fluid, which is burdensome to truckers and farmers, and also our reconsideration of comprehensive oil and natural gas regulations.

In February, EPA announced the single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history.
EPA has helped affirm Americans' right to repair their own vehicles.
