Trump vows to cancel the Paris climate deal, stop funding UN global warming programs and save the coal industry.
Gotta love these plans. No wonder the big-government fans are apoplectic over Donald Trump as he paints targets on their most sacred cows.
In Australia Bill Shorten, potential Prime Minister, called Trump: “Barking Mad.” Shorten, showing his diplomatic talent, was burning goodwill with a potential US president and 45% of voters in the largest economy in the world and our most important strategic ally.
Below, the Trump plans this week: to use cheap energy; to stop trying to change the weather, and finish feeding faceless foreign bureaucracies.

Trump: “We’re going to cancel the Paris climate agreement,” he said.
Trump slammed both rivals in his speech, saying their policies would kill jobs and force the United States “to be begging for oil again” from Middle East producers.
Trump said slashing regulation would help the United States achieve energy independence and reduce America’s reliance on Middle Eastern producers. “Imagine a world in which oil cartels will no longer use energy as a weapon,” he said.

In addition to his pledge to pull out of the Paris climate deal, Trump promised to only work with “environmentalists whose only agenda is protecting nature” and to “focus on real environmental challenges, not the phony ones”.
He contrasted this approach with that of Hillary Clinton, whose plan to combat climate change he called “a poverty expansion agenda”. Trump also attacked renewable energy sources, claiming that solar energy was too expensive and attacking wind turbines for “killing eagles”.
Vox – Trump Energy Speech
Coal production in the US has fallen 25% due to competition from fraking, and EPA regulations.
Donald Trump wants to bring back coal mining by repealing those EPA regulations. “We’re going to save the coal industry,” Trump promised
On renewables:
In his press conference with reporters before the speech, Trump elaborated: “I know a lot about solar,” he said. “The problem with solar is it’s very expensive.”
He also criticized wind turbines for killing birds in California. “Wind is killing hundreds and hundreds of eagles, one of the most beautiful, one of the most treasured birds,” he said. “So wind is a problem.”
“A Trump administration will focus on real environmental challenges, not the phony ones,” Trump said. “We’ll solve for environmental problems, like the need for clean and safe drinking water.” Later he elaborated: “My priorities are simple: clean air and clean water.”
Send the UN to Zimbabwe....
Coal miners are hard working and do a dangerous job.
Save their jobs!

It’s like he wants to win or something......
I’m not used to this from a Republican.
Sounds good to me.
Eliminate the EPA while you’re at it.
Did you hear that?
The green energy crony capitalists just had a collective pucker.
I’ll go further than that..get rid of the Jew Hating UN altogether..send it to Syria, they would fit perfectly there
I’ll second that-if simple, sensible conservation that protects the natural world is what is being done, then there is no need for the EPA, since it is just a matter of using common sense-let each state take care of it and save the money...
He’s got my vote.
Either there or Iran-I’m sure there is office space to be had in either place-then NYC could -lease the UN complex to tenants who would actually pay for the space...
But Mark Levin is still unhappy...
Just imagine what Trump could do with that building and location.
obamacare needs to be on the chopping block right away.
In other news, Paul Ryan still refuses to endorse the GOP nominee...Wall Street vs Main Street...Hey PAUL...TRUMP wins and you sir are in icehole!

Trump sure does have it right on a lot of important things.
You’ve just got to love his agenda.
Awesome common sense.
[Eliminate the EPA while you’re at it.]
While TRUMP is slashing the UN CLIMATE SLUSH FUND, he might as well slash their entire budget and send them packing.
Okay, so what’s the largest publicly traded diaper manufacturer in Europe?
