The Trump administration has done a lot to undo onerous regulations imposed by the Obama administration, as the above list indicates, and it took the initial steps toward the reversal in record time
Trump Administration Working Hard to Undo Obama's Onerous Regulations
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke are hard at work undoing the Obama administration's onerous regulations against the fossil fuel industry. From the Clean Power Plan to the methane rule on natural gas wells, the Obama administration waged a war on coal-fired power plants and oil and gas facilities.
Scott Pruitt has indicated that he will carry out the functions of the EPA based on the laws enacted by Congress. EPA released the proposed volumes for the Renewable Fuel Standard for 2018 on time1 and Pruitt has announced a plan to restore EPA's Superfund cleanup program to its rightful place as a top agency priority. Over 1,300 cleanup sites have been designated and Pruitt will reprioritize and accelerate action to remediate them.2 He is also planning on having an open, transparent discussion on climate change--a red team/blue team exercise.3
