person · Administrator, US Environmental Protection AgencyCredibility: 50%

Why this score? The head of the agency whose action he is announcing. Self-attesting and authoritative about what EPA has done and when; the savings projections, legal characterisations and price predictions in the same statement are the agency's own case for its own policy, and one of them ('Americans will see a decrease in electricity prices') is a checkable forecast. 0.5 reflects authority over the action and a full interest in its justification.
