Linn Bumpers speaks with former EPA attorney Mark Talty about how the second Trump administration is reshaping federal regulatory policy. They unpack EPA’s rapid deregulatory push, the rollback of climate rules like the Endangerment Finding, and the agency’s reliance on new Supreme Court precedents to accelerate major policy reversals. The conversation highlights shifting legal strategies, the risks of a less predictable regulatory landscape, and how states may move to fill emerging gaps. They also discuss what these changes mean for long term compliance planning and how companies can position themselves as EPA recalibrates its priorities.

Environmental Evolutions explores emerging areas and recent developments in environmental law and policy.
