Deregulation and Record
Subsidies
The climate policy rollback 2025 hits warp speed as the EPA loses 32% of staff and 112 environmental rules vanish. Fossil fuel subsidies climb to $42 billion while renewable tax credits phase out early. This post maps EPA deregulation 2025, Project 2025 climate blueprints, and emissions fallout.
Major Climate Policy Rollback 2025 Moves
- Executive Orders: EO 14008 revoked; “energy dominance” declared national priority.
- Rule Deletions: Methane leak standards, EV mandates, power plant CO2 caps—gone.
- Project 2025 Alignment: Schedule F reinstated; 4,000+ career scientists reassigned or RIF’d.
- Subsidy Surge: Oil & gas tax breaks rise 18%; LNG exports double to 28 Bcf/day.
- State Pushback: California sues over preemption; 12 states form “Climate Alliance.”
U.S. emissions on track for +6% by 2030 vs. 2005 levels—erasing Paris Accord gains.
EPA Deregulation 2025: Sector Impacts
| Sector | Rule Axed | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Power Plants | CO2 performance standards | Coal retirements paused; 22 GW back online |
| Oil & Gas | Methane flaring limits | 1.4 Bcf/day wasted; $2B revenue to industry |
| Autos | CAFE 54.5 mpg target | Fleet average drops to 38 mpg by 2028 |
| Renewables | ITC/PTC phase-out | Solar installs fall 45%; 110K jobs lost |
NOAA reports 14 billion-dollar disasters by August—highest on record.
Project 2025 Climate Blueprint: Fossil-First Vision
Key pillars:
- Eliminate NOAA climate programs; privatize weather satellites.
- Withdraw from UNFCCC; end all federal clean-energy R&D.
- Drill ANWR, offshore, federal lands—“maximum production.”
Conclusion
Climate policy rollback 2025 locks in fossil dominance via EPA deregulation 2025 and Project 2025 climate mandates, spiking emissions and disasters. States and courts offer the last firewall—2026 elections will decide the rest.
