In responding to a survey from the American Energy Alliance, both candidates said they would undo major Obama-era Environmental Protection Agency rules on clean water and power plant carbon emissions, with Trump saying, “under my administration, all EPA rules will be reviewed.”

“More recent scientific developments indicate that a review of the endangerment finding is needed,” Cruz wrote.
