Trump’s environmental executive order is everything we feared.

A senior White House official confirmed that President Trump will start rolling back key Obama-era climate policies on Tuesday. The executive order is aimed at sweeping away the Clean Power Plan, methane regulations, mining restrictions on federal land, and, well, you name it.

The White House will direct government agencies to root out “all rules, all policies, and guidance documents that serve as obstacles or impediments to domestic energy production,” according to the official who spoke on background during a conference call with reporters Monday evening.

“Energy independence,” said the official. “That’s the goal.” (For the record, the United States is already pretty independent, importing about 11 percent of its energy.)
..................

As details started to leak out after the conference call, environmental organizations were up in arms. The World Resources Institute called the impending order a “sledgehammer to U.S. climate action.”

2. what happens when voters don't vote or vote 3rd party

no fricken surprise when "conscience" won't allow supporting the lesser of 2 evils so then REAL evil takes over...stein voters bear the responsibility for trump and what they are doing...nothing can be done until 2018

4. It isn't just Stein

the stupid in this country is so pervasive ...

1/3 of the people who could vote, voted for a russian mole.
1/3 of the people who could vote didn't turn out.

I mean, I agree with your overall tone and point.

It just is that the Stein people are a relatively marginal faction of the idiots who put us in this spot.

3. This is not normal!!!!!

5. I agree with energy independence, but not the republican way

Instead of wasting more money and lives in the Middle East, we should dump those resources into developing renewable energy resources in our own boarders.

We should give the rest of the world a big middle finger and tell them we don't need their energy resources and the wars that go along with us using them.

6. this shit keeps coming back to big oil.
