At least the Courts realize that the President's Environmental Policies are not totally sound.

The President's Environmental Policies, carried out by Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt and Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, mostly reflect a combined alternative universe and back in time approach to making sure the air we breathe and the water we drink is as humanly unsafe as possible. This is evidenced by articles cited below that illustrate that the Trump Administration does not seem to care about fining pollution transgressions. At least the courts seem to realize that some of the President's environmental policies, like suspending rules on methane, are not prudent. Thank goodness. Until the next Presidential election, those that believe in clean energy, clean air,  clean communities, and clean water have to rely on local and state officials and the courts to make sure the current Administration does not get away with its reactionary environmental and energy policies.
