Trump's repeal of Clean Power Plan could mean billions in savings

No one government agency should have so much control over the economy, Donald Trump argued on the campaign trail. Now in the White House, the clock is ticking and the president is counting down the hours until the end of the Clean Power Plan.

Next week, President Trump plans to repeal the sweeping environmental regulation by executive order, and he doesn't plan on replacing it. For business, that's great news.

Drawn up by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Clean Power Plan represented the heart of President Barack Obama's climate agenda. It would've set limits on carbon emissions and imposed thousands of new regulations at a significant cost to the American economy. Once it's gone, the fossil fuel industry can let out a collective sigh of relief.

Nope. Ethanol lobbyists bribe both sides of the aisle. Especially in Republican corn country.

Lets create more poison for us to breath. That will certainly help reduce health care costs. Brilliant
