Environmentalism is a scam. The ideologies that Environmentalists are affiliated with have murdered millions. They ignore the biggest cesspools of industry on the planet such as India and China while they shake down the U.S. In the end, the consumer always gets screwed by paying for the cost of regulations and eventually most manufacturing leaves the country.
Well Trump has already hit the other big industry killer; corporate taxes.
Now he is hitting the EPA.
I hope he goes after the Army Corp of Engineers too. They stifle development constantly by regulating Wet Lands.
Environmentalism is not a scam. I remember the piles of dead fish washing up on the beach in Chicago, and the horrible smell we encountered going through Garry, Indiana. Environ-Mental-Ism is a scam for the reasons you cite and more.
