It was inevitable. New EPA Director Destroyer, Scott Pruitt, has declared that the Paris Climate Change Accord was a “bad deal.” Granted this is not a surprising move.
Pruitt also revealed in an interview with ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos on Sunday that President Trump will this week sign a new executive order that will eliminate a signature Obama-era policy for combating climate change, the Clean Power Plan.
The policy, which the Supreme Court put on hold pending judicial review, aims to cut carbon emissions from U.S. power plants.
Pruitt and the Week Day White House Resident are out to fight the Obama “War on Coal.”
But Pruitt said on ABC's "This Week" that the Obama administration had "a very anti-fossil fuel strategy, coal, natural gas and the rest" and that Trump aims to change that with the goal of producing jobs and lowering electricity rates for consumers.
So no more money from the budget for climate change research. No more Paris Accord. Full speed ahead on fossil fuels. And, if that harms the environment, heck, who cares? Not the Drumpf Administration.
