I'm glad to see people in this thread saying that this will be an environmental win while we're ending subsidies for "Unreliable, Foreign-Controlled Energy Sources"[0] and "Reinvigorating America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Industry"[1]

There is no good here. I don't when it became popular or acceptable to restrict free trade and ignore reality.

I thought you were making a joke but that really is the name of the EO. It's so over for America

That statement is pointless. Anything in isolation can be "good", just like if someones house burned down you could say that having insurance was "good" but it ignores the bigger picture.

I know, I thought it wasn't serious as well, until I went and checked.

		Yes, Trump actually wrote that. How much more in-your-face can his lies get before he’s being laughed out of the room?
