“I think some of the biggest themes throughout (Project 2025) are a sort of reorganization or dismantling of some of our environment agencies. They literally use the word ‘dismantled’ for what they would like to do to NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The others are a little bit more subtle, but they talk about shifting senior career staffers out of the EPAs office of water. So, it's all sorts of, you know, reorganizing and rearranging these agencies and doing so in a way that might make them, or that is going to make them, less protective of the climate.” Rachel Frazin on Electric Ladies Podcast You may have heard about Project 2025, the 900-page far-right conservative blueprint for a potential Trump 2.0 administration developed by the Heritage Foundation and about 140 former Trump officials.
