Earthjustice Statement on Nomination of Andrew Wheeler to Head Environmental Protection Agency

Earthjustice issued a statement opposing the nomination of Andrew Wheeler to lead the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), arguing that his leadership serves the interests of polluters and promotes climate denial.

• Martin Hayden, Vice President of Policy and Legislation at Earthjustice, characterizes Andrew Wheeler's tenure as Acting Administrator as running a "dirty energy favor factory" that serves the interests of the most significant polluters in the United States.
• Earthjustice asserts that if Andrew Wheeler is confirmed to head the EPA, he will persist in policies involving climate denial, the removal of public health safeguards, and bailouts for dirty energy.
• Earthjustice urges the U.S. Senate to reject Andrew Wheeler's nomination and to investigate the deals provided to dirty energy companies by the EPA under the Trump administration.
