LETTER: Clean-air rollback comes as no surprise
Never mind the state of our planet. President Donald Trump’s major concern is himself and winning the 2020 presidential election.
A rollback of coal pollution regulations should not at all come as a surprise. It was in a friendly exchange of quid pro quo that those businesses responsible for chlorofluorocarbons and other gaseous compounds harmful to the earth’s ozone layer helped to put Trump in the White House. And there is no doubt that Trump is looking for their support again in 2020. So why wouldn’t Trump want to do them a favor?
But all that back-scratching is causing the ozone layer to become thinner and bleeding our planet dry.
