TRUMP’S ORDER WILL UNDO CLEAN POWER PLAN RULE

President Trump is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday to roll back the Clean Power Plan rule, keeping a campaign vow to undo the Obama administration’s aggressive attempts to reduce carbon emissions.

Trump frequently promised last year to undo the rule, which the Supreme Court blocked from implementation last year while legal challenges are heard.

He told friendly crowds in coal-producing states that lifting carbon restrictions would not only keep energy affordable but help revitalize the coal industry and the communities economically ravaged by environmental regulations.
