Trump's EPA gutting "clean air act" regs

Post by USN_Hokie »

Drumpf finds his roots!
WASHINGTON (October 10, 2017) – Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), proposing to repeal the so-called “Clean Power Plan (CPP).” After reviewing the CPP, EPA has proposed to determine that the Obama-era regulation exceeds the Agency’s statutory authority. Repealing the CPP will also facilitate the development of U.S. energy resources and reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens associated with the development of those resources, in keeping with the principles established in President Trump’s Executive Order on Energy Independence.

Gooderly :!: We already have NESHAPS, Title V, the CAA, CAAA and not to mention various state programs.

The EPA needs to get back to their roots and tell many of the NGO's to get a grip and stop pushing for regulations based on feelings, misinterpretations and non-scientific studies.

Never mind that the rules Obummer tried to enforce were impossible to be met by anyone involved? Of course if everyone turns off all their electronics we don't need those pesky power plants
