If Trump wins, he'll scrap Clean Power Plan and go after EPA

If Trump wins, he'll scrap Clean Power Plan and go after EPA 

Republican nominee says his "America First energy plan" will roll back regulations and increase fossil fuel exploration and production

Donald Trump did not mince words as he outlined his pro-coal mining and fossil fuel election platform, telling an industry audience in Pittsburgh, PA that he will scrap the $5 trillion Obama-Clinton Climate Action Plan and the Clean Power Plan, and overhaul regulations seen as strangling U.S. coal, oil and gas industries.

Speaking to around 1,200, the Republican presidential nominee said if he's elected in November, he will introduce an "America First energy plan" that will roll back restrictions on shale production, thereby creating 500,000 jobs per year and raising U.S. Gross Domestic Product by $100 billion annually.

But to do that, Trump said he would rescind the crap the $5 trillion Obama-Clinton Climate Action Plan and the Clean Power Plan, the latter of which was passed in 2014 by the Obama Administration with the goal of curbing the country’s greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030.
