March 14: Trump to announce do-over on fuel economy rules for automakers
http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/14/news/economy/automakers-fuel-economy-trump/index.html

March 20: When President Trump traveled to Michigan last week to announce that his administration will reevaluate (and almost certainly weaken) a key environmental achievement of the past decade — new fuel economy and greenhouse gas standards for cars and light trucks — he alleged that “industry-killing regulations” had contributed to a loss of jobs in the U.S. automobile sector. The truth is, however, that there is no factual basis for the claim that stricter standards have killed jobs. There is, however, abundant evidence that these regulations have saved Americans billions of dollars at the pump, bolstered U.S. energy independence, fostered automotive innovation, and led to major reductions in air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

October 9: The decision by the head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to revoke the Clean Power Plan – our only nationwide limits on carbon pollution from power plants – is Scott Pruitt’s latest reprehensible effort to tear down America’s public health and environmental safeguards.

The proposed rule Pruitt signed today, if implemented, would put an end to a flexible and cost-effective Obama-era program to reduce unchecked carbon pollution from fossil fuel-fired power plants – measures that would prevent thousands of deaths and many more childhood asthma attacks while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

[Pruitt's] campaigns and political organizations received extensive contributions from Clean Power Plan opponents, including $25,000 from coal company Murray Energy just one month before the Clean Power Plan oral argument before a federal appeals court in June 2016.

Those industry opponents now stand to benefit from Pruitt’s proposal – at the expense of the health and safety of American families.
