(9/18) [b][u]Trump Administration Prepares a Major Weakening of Mercury[/u][/b] ...Business Insider

The Trump Administration is loosening restrictions on mercury emissions from coal-burning power plants. The Environmental Protection Agency — headed by former lobbyist for coal and energy companies Andrew Wheeler — found on Friday that federal limits on mercury, set by the Obama administration, are too costly to justify.

Do you think there might be financial interests involved 🤔

@SW-User seems to be ever the only excuse, but what about the priceless environment?

@Platoscave He won't be around to see the consequences and doesn't care.

Never knew he DID. That's a new one on ME. Maybe he wants to poison all those people who won't give him a wall?

@MaryJanine The nutso thing is...that he would still probably wanna poison us even if he DID get that ****

S'pose you're right. I thought I'd kept up to date on every crazy thing he had up his sleeve...but this is a new one on me. Thanks much for sharing.

He is destroying all the environmental laws and protections which have made this place (America) so increasingly liveable for the last 30 years or so....and violently failing to protect that part of the environment which has still fallen between the cracks. More mindless cruel wolf slaughter, seal murder, river deaths, ocean deaths, oil and chemical pollution, planetary death.....

He wants to kill us all. We aren’t as good because we aren’t orange like him 🙄

Maybe he's a Queen fan.

@NankerPhelge I don't understand.

@Platoscave Never mind. It's not my fault if you've never heard of the rock band Queen and had no idea the singer was known as Freddie Mercury. Try them out on YouTube, they were a really good band. Their single "Bohemian Rhapsody" was the first single ever to get to number one on two totally separate occasions, first in 1975 when it was their first number one, and then again in 1991 following Freddie Mercury's untimely death. The song is so well-known and so popular that you must be the only person on SW who doesn't know it.
