States Sue Trump Administration Over Rollback of Obama-Era Climate Rule** .................................................................................................
That rule, the Clean Power Plan, required states to implement plans to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2022, and encouraged that to happen by closing heavily-polluting plants and replacing those energy sources with natural gas or renewable energy ... The lawsuit — by 22 states and seven cities ... is the latest swing of the legal pendulum in a long-running dispute over how to regulate emissions from coal plants ... A coalition of environmental groups including the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Sierra Club and the Environmental Defense Fund are expected to file their own legal challenge this week. Two leading public health groups, the American Public Health Association and the American Lung Association, have already filed suit to block the Trump administration plan.
What are your predictions about whether on not trumposaurus's plan will be approved by the Supreme Court?

I'd like to say you're wrong, but I'm not so sure.
Trump likes coal powered steam.

He's a spoiled brat.
How can you predict anything but total chaos with this bunch of repubs? After working in the engineering and construction field (paper mills, power plants, chemical plants, & refineries) for over 42 years, there is no doubt about what is being spewed into our air. A lot of these plant sites have free car washes to wash the pollutants off your vehicle and if the shit is deadly for your paint job it can't be good for your lungs. I certainly hope the skewed supreme court does what is right.

I hope, but don't know if it will do good.
Well he and Moscow Mitch have been packing the court. It amazes me why trump and his followers want to use 20th century generation in the 21st century.

They are such worthless life forms that I'd hope we could designate them a different, to-be-extinct species soon.
