Many environmentalists are deeply fearful of the way Trump administration would deal with environmental, climate, and energy issues in the coming years. Many observers are pessimistic about the future of environmental and climate laws and even EPA under a Trump administration and a Republican-controlled congress.
Harvard law professor Jody Freeman, who specializes in environmental and energy laws, points out, "the picture is significantly more complicated, and markedly less bleak." Further, "While Trump may try to rescind a number of regulations, the process would be long, arduous and only partially successful. Moreover, any broad legislative attack on environmental statutes is unlikely to succeed without a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, which the Republicans do not have."
