There has been a gaggle of @NRDC lawyers with real world expertise digging into this stuff, but don't take our word for it. Look at how former EPA expert staff at @EnviroProNet read this--surprise, similar criticisms to Podesta's environmentalprotectionnetwo…

The U.S was the world’s only major economy to see greenhouse gas emissions go up significantly last year. It happened as the Trump administration gutted pollution safeguards and forced dirty coal plants to stay running.
