Both sides get passionate. Your side about losing a buck, the green side about losing clean air or water.
Don't say the Republicans don't scream economic doom every single time a regulation is imposed on their manufacturing or drilling. Yet we seem to have survived and the economy is supposedly "booming" according to Thunder Mouth.
Please point specifically to any change which has caused dirty air and water. You are lying when you infer that "our" side wants dirty air and water. We object vociferously to "your side" refusing to take into account the fact that some changes are flat out unrealistic and economically unfeasible.
Today President Trump proposed a major overhaul of our air traffic control system. The system would be privatized. One non-profit company which would accept bids and see to it that the system being used in LA is the same as the one here in Tallahassee as well as the one in Pittsburg all flow seamlessly. The hardware and software now being used are no longer manufactured.
How is this about the environment? How about reducing long lines of planes idling on one or two engines while waiting their turn to take off? Or, planes circling an airport awaiting their turn to land?
Ending the rule that stopped mining companies from dumping waste into streams. That's one.
Trump was too stupid to know that Congress had already passed an act that was upgrading to a GPS based system. He just wabts to privatize Air Traffic Control. He backed a plan by Bill Shuster, A Congress,an dating a Airline lobbyist. I wonder who thsat will fasvbor.
Handing over government assets to a corporation controlled by the airline industry, with little Congressional oversight.
What could go wrong there?
