Scott Pruitt's crimes against humanity

Rolling back the Clean Power Plan can be looked at as a merely symbolic act.   Thanks to lawsuits by 2 dozen states it has never been implemented.   Besides, the advent of cheap natural gas and advances in wind and solar power have rendered most coal fired power plants non-competitive and will eventually make coal an historic curiosity.  However, the pernicious message Pruitt and his enabler-in-chief are sending is that science is irrelevant.  The hard work of previous administrations can be reversed and there is little or nothing that can be done by people of conscience until the elections of 2018 when there is at least the possibility of democrats regaining control of at least one branch of congress and bringing a little sanity back to governance.  The EPA under this administration has become a mouthpiece for a fossil fuel industry which is looking more and more like the tobacco lobby did before science linked cigarette smoking with lung cancer.   In Pruitt's case however, the stakes are much higher.  The health of our planet and humanity's continuing existence is being imperiled by the rapacity of an industry and the incredible stupidity of the government we somehow allowed.  But remember, Hillary's e-mail management practices were the real issue of the 2016 elections!
