A final question. There was some speculation that Waltz may take the fall for this whole incident. Will he have to resign?
Well, Trump hasn't said much about the saga yet, but so far it seems like he's standing by Waltz and the entire team. The president told NBC yesterday that Waltz has learned a lesson and is a good man. Trump added that he's not very concerned about the story, saying it is the only glitch in two months and it turned out not to be a serious one.

It's all part of President Trump's stated goal of energy dominance. It's also a big step away from Democrats' Green New Deal. Here's Zeldin earlier this month declaring Democratic environmental priorities dead.

Zeldin wants to reform and repeal dozens of the most burdensome climate rules. That includes, for example, Biden's electric vehicle mandate that aims to force a radical change to the automobile market, with half of new cars sold being all electric by 2032. Even bigger than that, Zeldin's EPA has also set its sights on Obama's 2009 endangerment finding.

That rule essentially set the basis for the EPA to police greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. and spawned a massive amount of environmental regulation. So that's on the regulatory side of it, but Zeldin has also cut and reclaimed funds from climate programs as well. How much taxpayer money was that? Zeldin spoke about that during Monday's cabinet meeting. Here he is.

Zeldin has been very aggressive in getting that money back. The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund was the largest single investment in green energy projects ever, and the largest pot of cash the EPA has ever been responsible for doling out. A lot of that money went to groups that had never before received grants so large. Remember, we're talking about billions of dollars in some cases. A lot of money.

How are these changes affecting the energy sector? Yeah, we're currently seeing a big shift to redirect resources. Trump's energy secretary, Chris Wright, has worked alongside the EPA to greenlight a lot of oil and gas projects.
