President Donald Trump is not just reversing energy and climate policies ushered in under President Joe Biden — the current administration is following a completely different playbook, said the solicitors general of two states that frequently align with Trump in court.
The Biden administration used a “significant coordinated and targeted approach” to environmental regulation, said Ohio Solicitor General Mathura Sridharan during a Friday discussion at a Pacific Legal Foundation conference in Washington.
“I think it was a tremendous, tremendous overreach,” she said.
West Virginia Solicitor General Michael Williams, who appeared alongside Sridharan during a keynote address, said federal agencies under Trump have not adopted the Biden administration’s “whole of government” approach to tackling issues like climate change.
