There is NO OTHER COUNTRY that taps into its natural resources in a more sustainable and environmentally conscious way than the USA.  The Biden Admin made it harder to produce energy here at home and instead pushed production overseas through onerous regulations on domestic producers. By proposing to lift those onerous restrictions, we are unlocking our domestic energy potential and supporting a sector that protects our environment AND grows our economy.

EPA’s core mission is guided by our promise to ALWAYS carry out our core statutory obligations under the law. While the Biden Admin spent four years imposing regulations with unworkable timelines and infeasible requirements, the Trump Admin understands how to achieve cleaner air, land, and water without imposing billions in unnecessary regulatory costs that raise energy prices.

EPA is delivering nearly 1.6 TRILLION dollars in regulatory savings for the American people, and our recent proposal to rescind much of Biden’s unnecessary and burdensome regulations for the oil and gas sector, which employs 1 out of 10 Oklahomans, builds on those accomplishments. Administrator Zeldin and I will continue working to support reliable and affordable domestic energy to communities.

Make it 60 YEARS for the Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research lab! I was so honored to attend, alongside @TomColeOK04, a great celebration of this milestone, which was made possible thanks to the hard work from our talented EPA scientists in our Office of Applied Science and Environmental Solutions. Over the course of six decades, key research and advanced technology have protected our groundwater and soil resources and kept our communities safe, and we are excited to keep this work going for many years to come!

I just came back from a great trip across Oklahoma, where I had the opportunity to visit the multi-generational Jensen Farms in El Reno and later join a roundtable with the Oklahoma Farm Bureau to hear directly from agriculture stakeholders affected by decisions made in Washington, D.C. As someone who grew up in the Sooner State, I understand how important it is for EPA to protect human health and the environment while working cooperatively with states, cutting red tape, delivering regulatory certainty for farmers and ranchers, and lowering costs for consumers. I enjoyed speaking to the Oklahoma Farm Report about how the Trump EPA is working to accomplish these goals every single day. oklahomafarmreport.com/2026/…

Great to be in Ada, Oklahoma with @TomColeOK04 this past week to celebrate the EPA Kerr Lab’s 60th anniversary. For 60 years, Kerr Lab and generations of EPA scientists have worked to meet the challenges of protecting our nation’s drinking water from pollution and safeguarding our soil and groundwater resources. The Trump EPA continues to put gold standard science at the forefront of every action we take. theadanews.com/news/kerr-lab…

The Trump EPA continues to put our farmers first. Yesterday’s announcement works to give nearly 14,000 farms certainty. Outdated and incomplete data should not be used to substantiate putting our nation’s food supply and rural economies at risk!  epa.gov/newsreleases/trump-e…
