The EPA would like to shut down everything except itself. The EPA thinks everything we do can be cut down, including heating and cooling our homes, and eating meals, meanwhile it wastes plenty of money and carbon on its own operations including maintaining a completely useless museum.
Now that’s done and the media is not happy.
Lee Zeldin, E.P.A. Head, Shuts National Environmental Museum – New York Times
The “national” part is a slight exaggeration because the EPA museum was every bit as popular as you can imagine a museum that is dedicated to the EPA and catering to EPA personnel.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin, announced today that the agency is closing the one-room, 1,595 square foot EPA museum built by the Biden Administration using $4 million in taxpayer dollars. The museum, located within office space at EPA headquarters in Washington, D.C., saw less than 2,000 external visitors between May 2024 – February 2025 and costs $600,000 per year to operate.
EPA staff amount to more than 40% of visitors and while the museum is free, the cost to taxpayers per external visitor amounts nearly $315 per person.
But just think of the lower ‘carbon emissions’ that the EPA and environmentalists are obsessed with. Shutting down the EPA museum could very well save the planet. If it were in danger to begin with.
