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).

There is a silver lining to Trump’s harm to our country and environment. These actions are all administrative: it’s all easily reversible by our next Democratic President in 2021.

Om last thing: we all need to thank “Green” Party troll Jill Stein and her idiot voters for equating Don the Con wlth Clinton. Putin got his money’s worth out of Stein.

Can someone explain how this works? The original rule took something like seven years to put in place, due to comment periods and so on. You can’t just sign an executive order and say bang, it’s gone.

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.”

Actually, Scottie, I think the idea is that the EPA should use it’s authority to protect the environment - hence the name, Environmental Protection Agency. And your abandonment of the Obama rules will really not do much but feed the base, raise the profits of a very few companies - and damage the environment that your agency is supposed to protect, maybe indirectly cause a few deaths or suffering (just an added bonus). You fucking moron who works for a fucking moron.

Why don’t you pull emission controls off cars and factories too. The US never looked as polluted as China…

Jesus it’s astounding that some folks care so little about the environment and or just don’t give one iota about the affect on it or other people, if not their own or their own families!

ALREADY BEING DONE:

The Trump administration gave notice it intends to relax the rules governing greenhouse gas emissions on new model cars Thursday, in its latest move to undo President Barack Obama’s climate policies.

In a notice on the federal register, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department announced they were considering rewriting emissions standards for cars and light trucks made between 2021 and 2025.


EPA is proposing to ease its national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) that apply to manufacturing of amino/phenolic resins (APRs) used in the production of laminates and plastic moldings, in response to industry petitions for reconsideration of the Obama-era NESHAP for the sector. In an Aug. 24 Federal Register notice , the agency floats measures to ease compliance by industry with a 2014 NESHAP rule that imposed first-time emissions limits on certain emissions sources at plants.
