HAZARD, Ky. (AP) — EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt says the Trump administration will abandon the Obama-era clean power plan aimed at reducing global warming.
Speaking in Kentucky on Monday, Pruitt said he will sign a proposed rule on Tuesday “to withdraw the so-called clean power plan of the past administration.”
The clean power plan aimed to restrict greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants. It was a centerpiece of the Obama administration’s environmental policies.
The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to declare the Obama-era rule exceeded federal law by setting emissions standards that power plants could not reasonably meet.
Pruitt said the EPA should not use its authority “to say to you we are going to declare war on any sector of our economy.”
… instead the EPA declares war on the planet.
But if you think coal mining jobs are coming back, you’re shit out of luck, and if you’ve got a problem with that you can take it up with his Praetorian Guard (financed at your expense).
Sure the environment is being raped and we’re losing time we dont’t have to try to save the planet from climate change and American industry to being set back a generation on global competitiveness, but # NeverHillary
They are not even trying to make themselves sound like making sense anymore.
