Or that agencies don't stop working just because. These rules aren't written overnight. It takes months, public comment periods, revisions, etc to even get the rules written. The Congressional Review Act is a 90s law that is barely used for what should be obvious reasons (partisanship and a 60 day window after the rule goes into effect for Congress to act) and it does more than just rolling back a rule. It also prevents agencies from passing a substantially similar rule without an act of Congress.Wow... do any of you actually bother to look into the issues? Without speaking to the regulation's merits, it was never implemented, or Congress would not have been able to touch it. Congressional Review Act. Look it up. The point is, that the streams and rivers you are bemoaning are no different then they were in December. Now that doesn't mean we should be doing this, but all the hysteria is just that. In fact, the issuance of this regulation was more than likely so people could make a big stinking deal of it when it was cancelled. It was a political stunt, and you rubes fell for it... although I suspect some of you actually knew that and are playing along just because you want to.
Not sure of the percentage but many existing coal heating plants are being retrofit to burn natural Gas. The remaining 2 DC area US gov heating plants were retrofitted for gas about 10 years ago.

Perhaps. But go look at some of the dead, lifeless streams with colorful toxic substrata and you'll see that some streams desperately need to be different. Keeping them the same isn't conservation if they've already been fucked up.Wow... do any of you actually bother to look into the issues?

Here is our future. Toxic dumping because businesses don't need regulations. Thank you Republicans,
Don't worry, the Ontario government is planning to dump nuclear waste in an underground mine on the shores of Lake Huron, wcgw? We have so much unused f^&king land and they want to put it there? Drill a hole in the Canadian shield somewhere and dump it ffs.....We get some serious algae blooms and it seems like the beach is always closed on our side...water looks clear though thanks to the zebra musselsThose Great Lakes Trump supporters must be giddy with excitement now that Trump has given them the multicolored drinking water, "now with more fun!", that they voted for.

Wayne county Georgia voted 80% for Trump but doesnt want "clean" coal ash dumped into their landfills. They demanded the job killing EPA do something about the loopholes in the laws that allow dumping of "clean coal" ash into landfills. The woman was shocked that this was happening even as they continue to vote in Republicans who put these rules in place. All these Trump counties need to have more coal and more coal ash dumped into their backyards.
If there are no consequences to their actions (the voters) why would they ever change their actions? I say it's time for some tough love.
On one hand, good for them fighting backhttp://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5952739fe4b02734df2d8e41

This is the problem right here. Clueless, heads in sand, blind faith spills over into every aspect of life.This sounds like a conversation that I had with my dad several months ago over the EPA. He was raising hell saying they should be disbanded and I had to remind him that if they'd been around when he was growing up the rivers in WV wouldn't be yellow and dead from the sulfur byproducts of coal mining. Trump could grab my mom by the pussy and they'd both still vote for him next cycle.
