Has Trump announced his plan to bring back firewood as a major source of US energy.
After all it is renewable. All the bed-wetting hippies and renewable energy socialists should like it.

So this isn’t the other coal lobbyist in the EPA who just got indicted right? This is a different one who should be getting indicted but hasn’t.

Wheeler is very, very unusual for the †Я☭mp folks. He is evil and 110% bought and paid for, but he is non-ideological and very smart. He has only pushed things that will fly, while also protecting his right flank. This is the kind of guy that does deep damage w/o shitting all over his nest.

Luckally, there are only a few of these folks (Mulveney comes to mind) amoungst the hucksters and grifters and ideological boobies who Trump has hired.

Former coal lobbyist? Worked as an aide to Senator Inhofe?

Grandson of a coal miner? Why not Loretta Lynn for EPA Administrator? She’s a coal miner’s daughter!

“Compared to Administrator Pruitt, Mr. Wheeler is better,” Sen. Tom Carper, a Delaware Democrat and one of the most consistent critics of Trump’s EPA, said Friday in a statement after Trump’s announcement.

Compared to Administrator Pruitt a dead skunk in the middle of the road would be better. Just sayin’
