    You can't prove it either.

    If so, DO IT!

    I love it. What will happen next is uber liberal states like California will come up with their own regulations trying to offset this and they'll target regular people and businesses. Sensible people and businesses will eventually bolt leaving California with just their illegals and women who don't take showers and are proud of their stench.

    He is unshackling the American economy.

    The only color Trump cares about is green ... for you, me, and all Americans.

    The Liberals and illiberals are planning to file Lawsuits thru the states. They have been told to resist Trump and the Repubs in everyway.

    Yet.....they have failed to learn one of lifes simple golden rules. What comes around goes around.

    I'm a "millennial" who likes to make money and I get nothing but hatred aimed at me from your side for not agreeing with your elitist know it all attitude.

    Yes, by embracing 19th century technology and the idiotic fantasy that we can be great by living in the past.

    Renewables such as windfarms solar and others are NOT 19th century technology....This "Wind Mill" talking point does nothing but expose both indoctrinated partisan BS and purposeful ignorance.

    A windmill was designed to pump a bit of water for a family.

    Trump campaigned on helping the middle class. This sure seems aimed at helping energy companies increase their profit.

    Baby boomers are destroying the world. Disgusting charlatans, selfish and greedy to their final breaths. We will be better off without them.

    This deregulation is not going to create anything but profit windfalls for big corporate entities and their shareholders, all of whom are already rich.

    As a fisherman, I avidly oppose ANY DEREGULATION of clean air or water acts. Destroying and polluting our world so some grimy, greedy old **** can make a few extra bucks is sleazy cronyism.

    LMAO. Boomers were millennials 40-50 years ago. Most matured, other than the true moonbats. They've already proven they know how twisted and corrupt the Democrat Party is and helped repel the Beast once again. There's still hope for this country.

    It's clear which way millennials swung in the last election. Presently, they are not a monolithic voting block but as Trump continues his attacks on things that your generation hold dear, that could change pretty quickly.

    The pursuit of money for Trump's cronies in the fossil fuel industry both at home and abroad in places like Saudi Arabia and Russia whilst ignoring damage to the environment is not something I would be applauding.
    Let us only hope that this latest EO will go the same way as his ill thought out attempts to impose a Muslim travel ban and the repeal of AHCA and it's replacement with something even worse.

    Actually, what Leftness really cares about, is the environment. Caring about legacies is for the juvenile Right.

    I say this is what His Imperial Majesty Obama gets for ruling by dictatorial fiat.

    In case we've forgotten what Obama and the "progressive" climate change agenda is about:

    Actually, this isn't the first time in history that "progressives" have tried to "intentionally transform the economic development model" that "has been reigning for at least 150 years". They've been working on that for quite some time now...

    The only things the Left cares about are power and control.

    And your "progressive" messiah Obama cares very much about his legacy, as does the juvenile Left. They're fighting tooth and nail to preserve it...

    Here is how.


    The Clean Power Plan was an ambitious effort by the Obama administration to cut carbon emissions by nearly 30 percent from 2005 level by 2025. Both Democratic and Republican attorneys general opposed it, over half the states opposed it, and it targeted those living in rural America. Pretty much any state that voted for Romney in 2012 was going to get screwed over by this regulatory overhaul. In coal-producing states, like West Virginia, energy costs were projected to increase 20 percent.


    The Supreme Court stayed one of the main provisions, the power plant regulation, last year. Such increases in energy costs also put fixed-income seniors in the crosshairs. The ozone regulations between 2008-2013 cost a projected $56.6 billion in lost wages, along with 242,000 jobs. If Obama had succeeded in the war on coal, 125,800 jobs would’ve been lost in total, along with $650 billion in GDP. Moreover, millions of jobs from the black and Hispanic communities could have been on the chopping block......snip~

    Actually what the leftness cares about.....is what they are told to care about. If they weren't concerned about BO peeps legacy. Then they wouldn't be fighting to stop all of it from coming undone.



    His proposed budget for fiscal 2018 “America First” eliminates State Department appropriations that would have gone to the United Nations Green Climate Fund, a favorite charity of Barack Obama’s administration. He says his environmental leadership marked “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal,” and pledged $3 billion to the fund, and made good on the first billion. The Trump budget further deletes the State Department’s annual $6.4 million allocation to U.N. climate change schemes. Mick Mulvaney, the director of Management and Budget, says “we consider that to be a waste of money.”.....snip~

    Now those who do care should agree with the those on the Right, when it includes giving a billion dollars to BO's favorite charity. Pledging 3 and giving 6.4 million to the UN. Just over their climate change schemes.

    Agree.....that it is a good thing that has come to end.

    No that part about stopping the seniors from increases and those blacks and Hispanic jobs not hitting the cutting block. Is a major factor.

    So its not to hell with the environment. As those groups are part of the environment.
