wheeler. mr. wheeler: good morning, mr. chairman, ranking member carper, and members of the committee. when senator barrasso called me to ask if this would be my first hearing, i jumped at the opportunity because i cannot think of another committee on wanted to testify in front of first. when president trump appointed me acting administrator, he asked me to focus on three things -- clean up the air, clean up the water, provide regulatory relief to help the economy and provide more jobs for american workers. i believe we can accomplish all three of the same time. in fact we have already made , progress on all three in the past few weeks. we have not slowed down and not missed a step. yesterday we released to the annual report on air quality, and we have great news to share. from 1970 to 2017, the combined emissions of the six key pollutants dropped by 73% while the u.s. economy grew more than 260%. this is a remarkable achievement that should be recognized and celebrated. the u.s. leads the world in terms of clean air and ai

wheeler, for being here today. and others will talk about small refinery exception and i will diving right over the past year and a half epa is taking action that benefit refiners at the expense of farmers p p. by retroactively granting an unprecedented number of small binary exemptions epa effectively waived two-point to five billion gallons from refiners 2016 and 2017 rf obligations but not only do these actions contradict president trump pledged to uphold congressionally mandated volumes but they have also district court and ethanol esdemands with loss incomes at times when farm income is already at his lowest 2006 for iowa farmers but yes, sir no, mr. wheeler, do you believe that it should be implanted in a manner consistent with the original intent of congress? >> yes, i do. >> okay. thank you. let's distill this even further. the complianceth year 2017 the a granted 29 small refinery exemptions totaling 1.45 billio. it removes that many gallons ovfrom obviated parties compliae requirements which is the 15 bil

yalties lie. >> andrew wheeler y not wasting me ruling back regulations on the coal industry.new acting di ctor signed new rules that gives companies and states more authority to regulate waste froa burnedand ash. >> and one of the realities of coal-burning plants is that you need a place to distose of the and that traditionally has meant coal ash ponds, like this. it may look like a beautiful lake, but it is basicay an unlined pit in the ground with millions of tons of ash. mercury, cadmium, arsenic, contaminants, associated with cancer. >> seth: hey, kids, we're going for a swim in cancer lake! [ light laughter ] last one in is a rotten egg. also, first one in. [ light laughter ] actually, anyone who goes in will become a rotten cancerous egg. [ light laughter ] now shortly after that decision was made, wheeler had his first hearing as acting head of the epa, and some democrats seemed so thrilled at the mere fact that andrew wheeler t scott pruitt, that they went the extra mile to try to make him feelomfortable. just take democratic senator, tom carper who came bearing gifts

and a report said that wheeler wasn't exactly pining for this job. all too happy to dismantle president obama's pro environment agenda behind the scenes. >> wheeler is quoted as having said that he did not want the job, that he never wanted the job, but there are a lot of insiders who think he could actually be even more effective than pruitt was because he is so low key. but he has the same agenda. >> that worries favoring the fossil fuel industry over the environment. environmentalists say wheeler, who's a former coal lobbyist, should, quote, "scare anyone who breathes." >> seth: so he should scare anyone who breathes? well, then, watch out, mr. president. [ heavy breathing ] [ laughter ] >> seth: getting woozy. too much fossil fuels. [ laughter ] and, of course, it's ultimately trump who decides the policy. and here's what wheeler claimed trump directed him to do at the epa moving forward. >> he said clean up the air, clean up the water, and provide regulatory relief. i think we can do all three of those things at the same time. >> seth: no, you c

wheeler, the former coal lobbyist?> andrew wheeler has taken over from scott pruitt, who left in a scandal, notoriously, for his corrupt dealings from soundproof phone booths to expensive fountain has a much, much more. part of the reason i believe this has taken so long to come forward come this rollback of the clean power plan, is because of all of the scandal that surrounded scott pruitt. frankly, i think this policy bears all of the hallmark of the same corrupt administration, which is a handout to coal executives that andrew wheeler, on his -- in his first interview , was very clear he was going to carry forward the agenda of scott pruitt, that puts our health at risk to bail out some coal executives. one thing that is also important to note, though, for mr. wheeler and his leadership at the epa, is that the clean power plan from to reduce carbon 32% 2005 levels by 2030. so 32% from the electric sector. we are already at 28%. we have almost reached the targets of the clean power plan almost a decade at of schedule

wheeler: that is not what i mean. sen. whitehouse: thank you. >> thank you, senator. we are going to come to an abrupt stop, but we will make an exception because senator duckworth wants to be heard, but she will be the last one to ask questions and then we will close the meeting. senator duckworth: you are very generous and quite a gentleman. >> that is because you cosponsored my aviation bill. >> [laughter] senator duckworth: i talked to pilots and they are big fans of yours. mr. wheeler, although we don't see eye to eye on most issues, i believe you are making a good faith effort to reverse the course of epa and operate in a transparent manner. i support your memo calling on your colleagues to be open and accessible and committing to leading by example on open government efforts. i thank you for that. i think it's a first step to restoring the public's trust in the epa.

wheeler: this year or last year? sec. whitehouse: 2017, so it has been in place for a while. if you have to run the ability to ask an information request through headquarters, that gives them the chance to create institutional delay or put the kabul -- on an investigation -- kabash on an investigation. mr. wheeler: i will point out, we did not have a senate confirmed person until december of last year. i believe that is the longest time the agency had ever gone without a senate confirmed person. i think the numbers have gone up significantly since susan beaudoin took over the office. i think the program itself has improved. sec. whitehouse: i would like to ask you to get back to me on whether this memo is still in place. additionally, one of the edeviled people

wheeler is qualified for the position. he spent 25 years working in environmental policy and served as a career employee of the agency, a staffer on capitol hill, a consultant in the private sector, and now in a leadership role at the epa. i believe andrew wheeler would make an excellent administrator of the envirnt

an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers political commentator, lance price, and caroline wheelere sunday times. stay with us for that. good evening. welcome. interest rates have been increased for only the second time since the financial crisis of 2008. the bank of england's monetary policy committee voted unanimously for the rise, from 0.5% to 0.75%. the change had been widely predicted, despite concerns over rising personal debt, and a slowing housing market. it means more than 3.5 million mortgages subject to variable rates will become more expensive. but it could be good news for some savers. here's our business editor, simonjack. the road to rising interest rates has been a very slow one. like the tarmac on this road near lincoln, rates have been flattened for nearly ten years. that changed today for one main reason — wages are on the move. after years in the doldrums, they're rising at 2.7% per year. that's faster than prices are going up in the shops, as employers struggle to recruit and retain staff. that prompted the bank to raise rates from 0.5% byjust a quarter, to 0.7

with me are lance price, the political commentator, and caroline wheeler, deputy political editor ofrrow's front pages are already in. the increase in interest rates for only the second time in a decade leads the metro. it says the bank of england has warned there could be further "gradual" rate rises to come. the i also features the story, claiming the new rates signal the "end of the ultra—cheap credit age". the image on the front page of the financial times gives a good sense of apple's extraordinary surge in market value in recent years. today, it became the first trillion—dollar company. a times investigation has found that women with learning disabilities are being beaten and raped by abusers, allegedly granted visas by the home office. the daily telegraph says the new armed forces chief, nick carter, insists northern ireland veterans will be guarded against so—called "vexatious claims". a new crisis is gripping the nhs according to the daily express. it says that 6000 more gps are urgently needed, as patients are waiting up to three weeks to see a doctor. and the daily star ha
