The Trump administration moved one step closer Friday in the process to withdraw former President Barack Obama's Clean Power Plan climate regulations, according to the White House.
The Environmental Protection Agency sent its draft proposal for changing the climate plan to the White House, where it will begin the final interagency review process to scrap the regulations, which are under a Supreme Court stay.
The proposal went to the Office of Management and Budget a week after President Trump announced he would be withdrawing from the Paris climate change agreement. The Clean Power Plan represents the centerpiece of Obama's plan to meet its emission reduction commitments under the 2015 climate deal.

After Mr. Trump upends Obama’s “climate legacy,” time for him to eliminate Tricky Dick Nixon’s $8,000,000,000 EPA monstrosity, foisted on America by executive fiat.

Eliminating the EPA is like treating a symptom rather than diagnosing the disease. There would remain a patchwork of federal environmental laws that would fall to other agencies to enforce, which is the reason that Nixon tried to put it all under one roof in the '70s.
The permanent "fix" is to amend or eliminate those laws, which will be a long, tough slog through Congress. Fail to do that and the EPA will fragment into a multitude of smaller sub-agencies, sort of like kicking a mushroom on your lawn. One big one replaced by dozens of small ones.

Agree with what you say. Americans want to conserve the environment, but don’t need oppressive govt. agencies, laws, or regulations to do so. The original Clean Air and Water Acts have done good for this country, but they’ve been taken way too far by the Deep State Ruling Class Socialists. Today there are more than enough free market incentives for cleaner energy and preservation of our open spaces.

If there are environmental issues for the government to get involved in, the states can handle them just fine.
