WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has proposed a major rollback in Obama-era restrictions on climate-changing emissions from coal-fired power plants.
The plan announced Tuesday gives the states more discretion in choosing how to regulate pollution from the plants.
The Environmental Protection Agency says the move “promotes energy independence.” Environmental groups say it will harm the fight against global warming.
The move targets a major climate change effort of the Obama administration, which sought to reduce release of climate-changing emissions and other pollutants from the coal-fired power plants.
An EPA statement calls the Obama plan “burdensome.”
“Pollution and accelerating global warming are good if it means GOP donors can make a few more bucks.”
It’s a smash and grab, folks, by the corrupt owners of the Trump GOP.
Just wait until some state decides to regulate more seriously and we’ll see how much discretion there is.
No, it promotes premature deaths and short-term profit at the expense of the commons and the public trust. Hanging’s too good for these anti-life, planet-killing wankers.
Ladies … and gentlemen … of the host of … pro-environment … activist organizations … Start. Your. Litigation. Siege. Engines!

If Obama did it, then Trump wants to undo it.
