Two very different NYT stories posted this morning abt EPA & similar theme: Trump era shifts in protections to health & environment. Perhaps not as sexy as Mueller-Trump. But these changes impact every single person in US. Please read this with@dannyhakim: nytimes.com/2018/08/24/bus…
Here is second piece, detailing how EPA's re-write of Obama-era Clean Power Plan includes shift in federal policy that will allow older, dirtier coal-burning power plants to keep running, without mandated best-available air pollution controls. Huge change nytimes.com/2018/08/24/cli…
And here is a third piece from earlier this week provides some behind-the-scenes context why these changes are taking place: Trump administration is populated with former industry lobbyists and lawyers, who are still moving forward on ex-clients agendas. nytimes.com/2018/08/19/us/…
Other stories by The NYT this week include this by my colleague @LFFriedman nytimes.com/2018/08/21/cli…
The Pruitt era at the EPA might be over. The NYT coverage of the EPA is still going strong.
