It's stories like this I like to forward to friends that are saying Trump can't get anything done and we might as well have Hillary/Obama. There is a WHOLE LOT that is going on behind the scenes. As Obama demonstrated with immigration law, the laws on the books are written so loosely a President and Cabinet Secretary can essentially interpret them any way they want. Now, while it would be nice to have legislative changes as they are certainly more permanent, 14 Trump cabinet secretaries are busy gutting the regulatory state. And while some could be reversed under a future democrat administration, many cannot. For instance, once the Keystone Pipeline permits have been issued, the pipeline is built, and oil is flowing. A democrat can't very well, revoke the permits, reverse the oil flow, and unbuild the pipeline.

It never made economic sense to close a coal plant here in the US and build two more in China and India. This hare brained scheme has already cost the US economy billions.
If coal is so bad, the plants could have been phased out at the end of their useful life span. There was never any need for hysteria.
BTW, if there were a need for hysteria, Algore and the Hollywood elite should be leading by example: flying commercial and living in modest houses.
