One simple example.
Obama/Biden wanted 1 million barrel oil tankers traveling on the open ocean.
Trump and logical environmentally concerned people favor a pipeline on dry land that carries in one mile 700 barrels.
Plus the history of oil pipeline spills from 185,000 miles of pipeline are cumulative far less than one million oil tanker risks.
According to the
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, these spills and ruptures released over 7 million gallons of crude from 2010 to present.

7 million gallons is equal to 127,272 barrels. Think about that. In 10 years 127,272 barrels... VS one tanker carrying 1 MILLION barrels on the open seas!
So who cared more about the environment... Trump who based on history would support 12,000 barrels per year potential VS 1 million barrels traveling one mile on the open ocean?

Were you aware that one of the EPA rules required for rain water under “water of the United States,” that puddles after a rain fall would be evaluated? Fortunately after much debate puddles were excluded.
A puddle is commonly considered a very small, shallow, and highly transitory pool of water that forms on pavement or uplands during or immediately after a rainstorm or similar precipitation event. However, nume rous comme nters asked that the agencies expressly exclude them in a rule. The final rule does so. page 65 of this document found at this site:
Think about it. The EPA would have asked property owners to measure the amount of water in puddles!
This is why Trump and a vast majority of Americans are so disgusted with "Rules and Regulations"!!! No practical evaluation is for a vast majority of the Rules and Regulations"!
