On Wednesday, the US Environmental Protection Agency under President Trump finalized its rollback of President Obama's signature climate policy -- the Clean Power Plan, which aimed to reduce coal-fired power plant emissions. The administration will replace the plan with the Affordable Clean Energy Rule.
"The Affordable Clean Energy Rule, ACE, gives states the regulatory certainty they need to continue to reduce emissions and provide affordable and reliable energy for all Americans," EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said.When the draft proposal of the policy was announced in August, the agency's own risk analysis found that additional pollution under the new plan would result in up to 1,400 more premature deaths a year in the United States as of 2030.
The team found that both verbal and math scores"decreased with increasing cumulative air pollution exposure," with the decline in verbal scores being particularly pronounced among older, less-educated men.Cognitive decline and impairment, which could be caused by air pollution according to the study, are also potential risk factors in developing Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.
Trumps fault 🙄
Typical CNN, heat attack? Please explain. No, never mind. It would be fake information anyway.
BS!
Those countries ought to get busy to do something about it, like we have. Should be a lot of information around to solve their problem!
Trump and Wheeler could care less. I bet if Trump could get away with it, they would shut down EPA as well. This is no longer a joke.
Must be those cow farts.
You are Fake news. You know and chose to report what is really going on.
56 million innocent babies were murdered in the world last year! 56 MILLION!!! CNN, (all their employees), is a partisan hack for the democratic party which is a promoter of abortion and will be held accountable by God
Republicans don’t think that is enough. Trump just made it lawful for coal fired power plants to pollute more
BROUGHT ON BY 911 & THE PLOT AGAINST THE NATION BY ISLAMIC TERRORIST RIGHT CNN OR DID YOU FORGET
I wonder what is happening in China with all of the factors.
President Trump said the U.S. has crystal clear, pure air and water. He repeated that many times so it must be true. In fact, I think I heard him say this on CNN today.
Too bad...
