I have to laugh at the way the PR hacks quote Politifact when it suits them and then commit an ad hominem logical fallacy of attacking the same source when it comes to exposing Trump's lies.

 

Good! Look in the mirror and laugh some more.

But now you can believe them.

Trump signs executive order rolling back Obama-era energy regs

President Trump moved Tuesday to unravel a host of energy regulations imposed by his predecessor, targeting in particular the Obama administration’s signature program that was intended to curb carbon emissions – but blasted by Republicans for hurting the already-struggling coal industry.

With a sweeping executive order signed at EPA headquarters, Trump initiated an immediate review of the Clean Power Plan, which restricts greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants. Surrounded by coal miners, the president described that plan as a “crushing attack” on workers and vowed to nix “job-killing regulations.”

“We’re going to have safety, we’re going to have clean water, we’re going to have clean air, but so many [regulations] are unnecessary, so many are job-killing,” he said.

 

According to those at the Daily Caller, yeah let's destroy the environment and then maybe through all the winning and wealth increase maybe we clean everything up.

In the mean time America enjoy the asthma, cancer clusters, etc, etc, etc. Good times, no great times.

 

Elections have consequences.

Obama's EPA reign is over.

 

Yep. All this comes from a true dipshit. I expect as much.

Trump remains the biggest loser in presidential history.

Poll: Trump less trusted than TV news outlets

 

Get ready for a dirtier environment.

 

Actually instead of just getting ready for a dirtier and more deadly environment get ready for more than 40 different lawsuits that will tie this meaningless executive order up for years and kill a lot of it.

Trump does not get to be a dictator. At least not yet.

 

Interesting.
President Obama, through executive order, imposes draconian new regulations that are really nothing more than aimed at killing the coal industry in favor of "clean energy" that is anything but while padding his cronies bank accounts and he's a hero.

President Trump revokes those executive orders while stating;
"We’re going to have safety, we’re going to have clean water, we’re going to have clean air, but so many [regulations] are unnecessary, so many are job-killing,” he said.
And he's a dictator.

I'm not sure why we should support the coal industry. Do we want to have air like Beijing?

 

go to LA and you use no coal there.....look at that fucking mess....

the parts of the country that still use coal dont have a ton of other pollution....
besides that the newer coal plants have scrubbers and do not emit that much carbon....,-

 

Not support the coal industry?
Fine. Lets review what coal is used for;

Coal-fired power stations generate 40% of global electricity.
About 70% of steel is created using coke, a high-carbon fuel made from coal.
The dandruff and head lice-zapping power of some shampoos is thanks to coal tar.
Coal is a key element in the manufacture of ammonia fertilizer.
Concrete is a made using coal.

The Obama talking point on getting rid of the Coal industry was kill coal and save the environment. They didn't talk about the other uses of coal, or that coal fired plants are much cleaner than even 5 years ago, or what to do with the 80,000 people who work in coal, or that one simply cannot regulate an industry out of business without consequences. And they didn't want to talk about the entire transportation industry that pumps more pollutants into the environment every day than coal does in years. How much CO2 is pumped into the UPPER atmosphere hourly by passenger jets? Compared to that, coal is a non environmental issue.
Bejing air quality my ass.

But Obama was the environmental hero for his executive orders would all but kill the coal industry, and Trump is a dictator for revoking them.

If we ever manage to get past the political hate rhetoric on both sides of the aisle we might have a chance to have meaningful discourse about the issues.

 

Right. Coal powers 40% of the world's energy and produces 39% of the co2 emissions. The reason its used so much is it's the cheapest.
Clean coal is a myth.

 

Natural gas is killing coal.
