Trump Plans to Shut Down Energy Star Program

“The Trump administration is preparing to eliminate two key Environmental Protection Agency divisions focused on climate change and energy efficiency, including its consumer-facing Energy Star program,” CNN reports.

“The agency is planning to shutter its climate change division and climate protection partnership division, both of which sit within the agency’s office of air and radiation… The moves will impact several climate programs including the greenhouse gas reporting program and EPA’s partnerships on methane – a super-polluting, planet-warming gas emitted from oil and gas, agriculture and landfills.”
