Trump admin may ax more than 1,000 EPA workers hired under Biden's renewable energy push: report

^{Published on 2025-02-03 14:40:53 - MSN}

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is eyeing downsizing by more than 1,000 employees, many of whom were hired by the Biden administration to work on climate change, air pollution and environmental regulation programs.

The Trump administration is reportedly planning to significantly reduce the workforce at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), targeting over 1,000 employees who were hired during the Biden administration to support its renewable energy initiatives. This move is part of a broader effort to dismantle what Trump and his allies view as an overreach by the previous administration in promoting green energy policies. The proposed cuts would affect various programs aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting electric vehicles, and enhancing energy efficiency.
