Trump Ended “Environmental Justice” Day 1; PA Continues Funding EJ

Donald Trump has taken significant actions to eliminate "environmental justice" programs within the federal government during his second term, which began on January 20, 2025. What is so-called environmental justice (EJ)? EJ is the leftist theory that energy projects like pipelines and well pads target locations where there are black, brown, or poor people who can’t fight back legally. They don’t want the projects, but they have no way ($$) to fight them. And so their populations suffer the negative environmental consequences of living near polluting energy projects. Energy projects are presumed to be inherently racist. It is a disgusting, loathsome political theory peddled mainly by the far-left of the Democrat Party. Although Donald Trump has quashed EJ on the federal level, the Josh Shapiro Department of Environment Protection's EJ program keeps chugging along, oblivious that nobody wants it, nobody respects it, and it's a "dead man walking."
