A DC-based consulting firm principal says the EPA will be challenged to help meet the administration’s ambitious climate goals in addition to its other regulatory obligations.
Christian Richter is with The Policy Group.
“Putting a lot of this expectation on the agency will be raising some questions about how they’re going to get all their work done,” he says. “I think we’re going to see some budget resources increase for EPA in the meantime to manage other statutory responsibilities they have and all this new set of expectations on climate.”
He says the agriculture industry could be impacted by the climate focus.
