EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin praised the recently passed legislation, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill," for delivering substantial fiscal benefits to taxpayers by rescinding billions of dollars previously allocated to what he described as the "Green New Scam." Zeldin emphasized that the bill represents a commitment to responsible stewardship of American tax dollars. Former President Donald Trump also criticized the Green New Deal, referring to it as the "greatest scam in history" during a speech at Pennsylvania’s Energy and Innovation Summit. Trump further compared the Green New Deal unfavorably to the "autopen," which he called an even bigger scam.
