Biden’s Quest to Reverse Trump-Era Environmental Rollbacks Could Take Years
The Washington Examiner cites Director of the Center for Energy and Environment Myron Ebell on regulatory reform and the Biden administration:
“Changing the direction of the regulatory ship takes a while. In most departments, it’s a very slow-moving thing,” said Myron Ebell, energy and environment director at the libertarian Competitive Enterprise Institute, who led the Trump Environmental Protection Agency transition team.
“It seems to me they can make a fast start out of the gate, but they will, for each of these many, many items, find it’s a slow slog through the regulatory morass,” he added. Ebell, a fierce critic of regulation, suggested his group is ready to fight the Biden team to protect Trump-era actions such as rules loosening energy efficiency standards for household appliances such as dishwashers and clothes washers.
