President-elect Joe Biden is set to nominate North Carolina Environmental Quality head Michael Regan to run the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
If Regan is confirmed he would be the second Black American to lead the EPA. Lisa Jackson, who served in the role during the Obama Administration, was the first. Regan would also play a central role in fighting the climate crisis, air pollution, and the administration’s move from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Biden promised during his run-up to the election to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and to eliminate fossil fuel emissions in the power sector by 2035.
