I think it's very important to understand that protecting the environment is not a binary choice with growing the economy. And too often regulations have strangulated the economy and going after industries wholesale. Some people talk about moving power from some fossil fuel production of base load power to sources like wind.

And they'll talk about wind as if it's not an intermittent source of energy. They'll talk about wind as if it's a replacement for base load power. And when you look at the current grid, the current supply, the current demand, And you kind of play it out in your own mind as to what it looks like if you shut down all these other industries wholesale.

And the number one issue that Americans were talking about was a strong, intense desire for the federal government to do a better job in helping to grow the economy. What we need to do is to make sure that we are implementing the laws that are on the books, putting rules and regulations in place that are following the law.

So for us, it's very important for us to honor the rule of law, to advance cooperative federalism, to follow our obligations under the law, and to understand, as the Supreme Court outlined in Loperbright, that we should not be as an agency going rogue and strangulating the economy just because we all have a desire to protect the environment.

Listen, what our priority here is clean air, land, and water for all Americans. Cleaner, safer, healthier land, air, and water across this country. It's a priority of President Trump. It's a priority of the American public. It has very strong bipartisan support across this country. And ultimately, the EPA should not be legislating what a modification of the Clean Air Act may look like.
