One small step backward for humanity; one giant leap backward for humanity.

With today's Executive Order, the President is attempting to turn the clock back on all the environmental progress over the last 45 years. As mentioned in previous posts, Environmental Protection is a bipartisan endeavor. It was Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican, that helped make the National Park Service. It was Richard Nixon a Republican, that signed the laws that ushered in the Environmental Protection Agency and Clean Air and Water Act. This executive order, which may, in the end, be more hype than substance, is a giant step backward that promotes an energy industry (coal) that is no longer viable. To the people in states that supported or support the Coal Industry like Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and West Virginia: please understand that nothing can be done for this soon to be dead market. Please use your considerable energies to revitalize your communities with new economic models or, if necessary, move to another part of the country that is looking for good people to become productive parts of their communities. Do not fall for the con from the huckster in chief.
