Mr. Regan is no fossil fuel lobbyist or dark money fundraiser; he's fought polluting industries to protect the communities they harm. Picking him signals a return to the core mission of the agencydefending our environment in service of the health and safety of the American people. The Biden administration faces massive environmental challenges, especially climate change. To avoid calamity, Biden's team will need to act with urgency and a willingness to fight against the big polluters that have stymied progress to this point. I look forward to learning more about Mr. Regan's battle plans for the fights ahead. Print Email Tweet Previous Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
