“It surprised me how much he turned the nation over to coal and oil interests, but it’s a bad path for our country. I think he’s turning America into a petrostate. He named the most notorious oil man in the country to run the State Department, Rex Tillerson, the head of Exxon. Trump’s other Cabinet choices are so deeply rooted in the ideology of fossil fuels and promoting mercantile interests of those industries ahead of the American people, and it’s hard to see a good end for our country from those kinds of policies.The abolition or the destruction of the clean power rule is not going to bring back a single coal job in eastern Kentucky or southern West Virginia, it’s just not gonna happen. The only people who are going to benefit from that are going to be the billionaires who own the utilities and the big carbon interests.“(-Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) -- source link
