EPA Shuts Down $4 Million Biden-Era Museum, Citing Waste

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the closure of a one-room museum dedicated to environmental justice and climate change, which was built under the Biden administration at a cost of $4 million. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin criticized the museum for being a 'shrine' to political agendas, citing its low visitor turnout of fewer than 2,000 over nine months, which equated to a staggering $315 per visitor. The museum's operating costs of approximately $600,000 annually were deemed wasteful, as funds could have been better spent on addressing environmental issues. Zeldin noted the museum's omission of significant environmental achievements during Donald Trump's presidency as a deliberate political lean. He emphasized a commitment to fiscal responsibility and indicated that similar 'pet projects' would be scrutinized and potentially eliminated. The museum's closure reflects a broader shift in EPA priorities under the current administration.
