Do we really not want clean water and air? I know everyone says "economy," but you can't drink or breathe "economy."
The Chinese figured this out just a few years ago.
They were destroying their own country in the race to build out steel production etc.
Now they see the insane folly of their ways, and are working hard to fix the damage.
And we Get Trump and the GOP willing to fill our children with heavy metals to keep some coal fire power plants going . .. . Who owns them and why is Trump willing to pollute the nation to support these owners...
More like "let them eat coal mining runoff". If you lived downstream of coal mining facilities, you might think differently.
lets look at vote tallies from coal country, this is what they voted for, this is what they wanted, I am struggling to find empathy, maybe in a couple of months, hell I cant wait for 20 million people to lose coverage just to prove a point.
Are you referring to the oil derrick that blew and huge oil spill up because Obama's EPA wasn't doing the job it was supposed to be doing? The same EPA where they head now works for the oil company?
but its ok to appoint the head of the oil company to run the EPA? [the actual guy appointed to run the EPA is actually worse, but you get my point] because thats what trumps appointments have been. I know you are going to say how trump won and hillary lost, right?
I take everything coming out from the news with a grain of salt. I for deregulation of environmental laws from business's.
With that said do hope with less laws the Government creates laws encouraging transperency of business's environmental impact and their efforts to lessen their impact. Also make public quarterly records. For agriculture place camera's in areas where livestock are used for food. Make public records of government inspectin of places where food come from.

We should have empathy for people that vote against their own self interests.
Also, people may not have realized that these kind of things would happen.
Either way, we should care about our fellow people regardless of political party or how they voted. Hoping people die to prove a point is not what this country should be about. We are better than that.
There was a time in WV - when you coal dust was everywhere. Including the streams. Black sludge in the streams.
Is this what they want?
Right, you see pictures of Pittsburgh when the furnaces where cooking, you needed lights to drive during the day its was like Beijing. Yes that is what they wanted.
Maybe Trump will get rid of mine safety and labor regulations too. Lots of coal jobs for everyone! Even children!
