How Trump Is Trying to Crush California’s Environmental Policies

Clean and Healthy California @cleanandhealthyca.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Trump is pulling out all the stops: a half-dozen federal agencies are working to undermine California’s clean energy revolution. (So much for states’ rights!)

How Trump Is Trying to Crush California’s Environmental Policies
At least a half-dozen federal agencies have taken action against the state that has led the nation in environmental protections.

“The stakes are high. Because of its market muscle as the world’s fourth largest economy, California’s environmental regulations have influenced the manufacturers of automobiles and other consumer goods. And its green policies have spread to some other states in what’s known as the ‘California effect.’”

Trump’s EPA is celebrating the “single largest deregulatory action.” What does that actually mean? Dirtier air, worse climate disasters, more health consequences, and higher hospital bills. California must double down on our own climate progress. There’s no other choice.

The Trump EPA's biggest rollback yet:
Repealing the legal basis for all federal climate regulations
Here's what it means for California ->

The EPA has been able to regulate climate pollution because of the clear finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger society. That evidence has only gotten stronger over time.

But when Trump pitched Big Oil executives to spend 1 billion dollars on his campaign, he promised to scrap climate protections, and this is the payoff.

If it's allowed to take effect, this rollback will further enable polluters and worsen the climate crisis.

Experts are warning that it could result in trillions of dollars of climate damages and healthcare costs.

This isn't over yet.

Environmental groups are taking this to court, and they have a strong case.

Meanwhile, California has long been a climate leader, and we're not stopping now.

We will continue protecting our clean air and clean water, no matter what. With each federal rollback, the stakes only get higher here at home.

In the last quarter of 2025, California averaged more than 70 oil spills a month.

Last month, the San Ardo oil field experienced its 95th spill over the past 20 years.

“California is supposed to be a leader in moving us towards a fossil fuel-free future, but these kinds of spills are a stark reminder that the state has a lot of work to do to live up to that.”
