The little environmental protections America had are now getting swept away while Congressional Republicans applaud the decision. It's quite disgusting.

[Anna Komnene]

Can't wait to import my sexy little smog mask from Beijing.

Does he not realize that every last coal miner deserves to lose their livelihood?

[Blue3]

Unfortunately expected. I hope we could find a common ground on this, but I'm not optimistic on it in the near future.

Of course the best thing to help them would be to ban fracking.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

Having failed (not defeated, just failed because he's incompetent) Trump will now take out his rage on something that can't fight back: regulations.

[Xing]

Hope people enjoy their new underwater jobs.

Smart move.  You know what they say, "If you fail to plan for the thing, you plan for the thing to fail"  ... er, maybe it's. .. "If don't prepare for change, change won't prepare for you" ... something to that effect.

[DavidB.]

The left deserves this so much, but it's probably bad policy. Can't support this.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

YES!!!!!!! APPLACHIA IS SAVED!!!!!

Coal production versus employment since 1880:



Perhaps rather than Emperor Obama's tyrannical regulations, it was the advancement of mining mechanization (automation, mountaintop removal, strip mining) that has put many coal workers out of a job?

Why does the GOP always want to take us back in time?

Why?

[Middle-aged Europe]

Donald Trump is not the president the world needs right now, but the one it deserves.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Why does the GOP always want to take us back in time?

Why?

Because often a "progressive" future has no room for certain social undesirables and assumes the "others" will just die off in misery eventually.

Is it back in time, or is it Back to the Future?  Think about it

It's WAY back in time when air was dirtier, when the govt legislated what happened to female's bodies, when we were in World Wars and needed a big military budget, when might made right instead of doing what's right and ethical because it's the right and ethical thing to do.

WAY back in time.

The air will always be dirty
Even under complete Abortion on demand, the war on drugs, which isn't going away, still has control over female (and male) bodies
We still have a big military budget

Coal production versus employment since 1880:

It'll be fascinating to look back on this decision and evaluate how many "coal jobs" it has "saved."

So sad that people living in coal country are actually falling for this charlatanry.

Even if the result is a wash, still better than Clinton who would have worked to lower that number to ZERO very quickly.

Bye Bye Paris accords

It's all a matter of one's perspective.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

It's becoming increasingly clear that we're at the point of no return as far as climate change is concerned.  Time to start taking tips from this guy.

(I'm mostly kidding.)

EDIT: Well, maybe half.

[MasterJedi]

So I guess we need the return of smog?

China is really kicking our ass there. Trump will stand up to those smog champions.

Thank goodness we left that behind!
