Toxic particles from power plants could travel 600 miles away from the power plant. Everyone can breath the toxic air, even if in a pristine rural area 300 miles away from a medium city.
The particles falls into pristine rivers and lakes and causes the fish to have excessive mercury. These means some fish shouldn't be eaten or only eaten so many times per year. Kids and pregnant women might never be able to eat those fish. Even if you live in the middle of nowhere - those fish will be poisoned and the air will also have toxic particles....from a power plant 600 miles away.
So what now remains of Obama's presidential legacy?
That list is starting to get mighty short.
Turning the air black in Appalachia is a win for both sides. Darwin and all that. And we should not have to pay for their black lung disease, they are choosing to get that.
Once that air in Appalachia is so black and thick, people can chew it, we will remind them that Obama tried to prevent it but their supposed savior gave it to them happily.
They can always vacation in the west to see what breathing clean air feels like.

Trump is building his legacy, being so pathetically juvenile and butt hurt over what happened at a White House Correspondents' dinner he'll be known for overturning whatever he can carrying Obama's name, good idea or not. What a sad, vindictive, petty little man.
About a dozen states have honored the goals of the Paris agreement and I'm sure that helps the U.S. as a whole. But since Trump is going to let red states do whatever they want (and they want black air!), even the western U.S. won't be able to help the averages. This is going to be a weird dynamic of the west having clean air, gradually getting darker and thicker as it crosses the country. Way to go Trump supporters, breathe deep.

Yeah, I hope FL takes care of its residents and approves a coal-fired plant a mile or so upwind of Mar-A-Lago to get that power cost down.
