Scott Pruitt, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, vowed that he will get tough on corporate polluters, dismissing critics who cast him as too cozy with industry.

"They don’t know me," Pruitt said, during an interview with Bloomberg News in his Washington office. "I’ve led a grand jury. We are going to do enforcement, to go after bad actors and go after polluters."

The damage done to our environment by this incompetent, corrupt and and basically ignorant administration will take decades to undo, if it can even be undone.
