Though Trump thunderously Executive Ordered the Clean Power Plan to be rescinded, it turns out that, no, you can’t just do that. The EPA has now formally announced it’s going to start undoing the Clean Power Plan — which never went into effect, due to law suits from folk like … well, like Scott Pruitt, now the head of the EPA. But to undoing it, they have to go through a whole new set of rulesmaking, which will take years (not counting court activities), and still have to take into account the EPA’s own ruling that, well, yeah, releasing greenhouse gasses is dangerous.
