re Trump and regulations
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration announced on Friday a plan designed to make it easier for coal-fired power plants, after nearly a decade of restrictions, to release into the atmosphere more mercury and other pollutants linked to developmental disorders and respiratory illnesses.
President Trump’s new proposal does not repeal the regulation, known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, but it would lay the groundwork for doing so by weakening a key legal justification for the measure. The long-term impact would be significant: It would weaken the ability of the E.P.A. to impose new regulations in the future by adjusting the way the agency measures the benefits of curbing pollutants, giving less weight to the potential health gains.
Who cares if our kids can't safely breathe the air? A few more coal-miners might be filled with false hope as well as opiates, and vote for the asshole in 2020.
This Russian-infected and corrupt SOB will kill us all.
This administration is evil.
The son of a bitch will not get away with that in California. Starting in 2020 all new homes built in California must have solar panels...
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/09/business/energy-environment/california-solar-power.htmlAnd not only are we going to go solar, but we can invent and manufacture the equipment right here in California, so that we can create green jobs in Mojave, as well as in Van Nuys, and elsewhere. And Mojave is already a leader in the field of wind power. California is set to benefit from clean energy, along with the fact that we are doing what is right for our planet.
Other states need to tell Trump to go pound sand too, right along with California. And the fishermen, and companies which sell fish, need to file lawsuits for the fact that the fish all have Mercury in them because of the coal and dirty energy, we should all file lawsuits against the Mercury in our fish. Etc, etc, etc. We need to stand up and fight for safe fish to eat, and for a clean planet.
And we need to train the coal workers for the jobs of the future. California can invent the new equipment for the green economy, and we can send jobs to the coal workers, etc.
We need to keep the jobs local as we create the equipment for the green economy, and we can also help the coal workers. If the jobs all go to China then that would be like chopping off our own foot with an axe. As we invent the new stuff, we need to manufacture it right here in California, and in the USA, the new stuff needs to bloom where it is sprouted.
We also need a total new trade deal with China. The new trade deal with Mexico and with Canada is a start, and we need to fix trade with China and with others. As we invent the technology of the future, we need to keep the jobs that are created here in the USA. Our workers need the jobs of the future, and going green can help everyone.
Salute,
Tony V.
